RE: CCIE Lab experience! [7:73263]
ALL lab books will help - I've been working in Networking for nearly ten years, with Cisco products for 6-7 years - mainly in the field. I only attempted the lab to get extra time to do it used 1 LAB Study Guide (Hutnik/Satterlee) some old sample labs. They ask you to do so much with a small lab (6 or 7 devices) it's difficult to comprehend before you see it. Just practice getting all your L2 stuff done quickly, get IP working with no fuss, your IGP's done with no reference manuals - this will leave you with enough time to ponder over which way to do all the tricky bits. There's always 3 ways to skin the Cisco cat they want you to know the reasons why you should use all of them. I will be going for it again soon - when I have time I intend to pass. -Original Message- From: alaerte Vidali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 July 2003 18:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: CCIE Lab experience!

Alex, Congratulations on passing your NP exam(s). The lab exam is no longer the 2 day format. Details can be found at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/learning/le3/le11/learning_ccie_lab_exam.html You must have more than just knowledge, but also speed - the ability to type very fast is even beneficial due to the length and quantity of configurations you will need to create and manipulate.

RE: CCIE Lab experience! [7:73263]
I just can't see it happening (pass the CCIE lab with only reading books). I'm a CCNP/CCDP with a good, solid three years of hands-on Cisco experience under my belt and can't believe what I've learned by being able to actually configure and troubleshoot the equipment. There's no way that I could get that from just reading books. And I still don't feel prepared to tackle the CCIE lab yet! If you can't afford your own equipment, see if you can find a study group in your area. Most times, many members of the group already have all the equipment and you can work on scenarios together. Or, you can actually rent rack time very cheaply now if you want some hands-on practice.

RE: CCIE Lab experience! [7:73263]
Depends on confidence, preparation, and budget - if I were not confident in my ability to pass, and I couldn't afford to blow $2K, I'd likely get a fresh 18 months and re-do the written. If, on the other hand, I could afford it, I'd get that initial attempt out of the way, since first-time passers are so rare, and then concentrate on the weak points.

Running out of Time - WAS - RE: CCIE Lab experience! [7:73263]
With the assumption this will be your first attempt, let me counter with another question. How much is the experience worth to you of sitting a lab to experience the situation and see the difficulty of the questions? It will demonstrate the topics that need improvement. Would the same money be better spent attending some training or purchasing some equipment? Further assumption is that you can afford either. Good luck in whatever you decide. -Original Message- From: Juan Blanco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 12:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: CCIE Lab experience!

Well.. I dont know about the rest of you, but when I look at resumes, and I see someone has actually put CCIE written on it. I cant help but chukkle.. If you start something.. might as well finish what you started I say. I dont see the value in someone who is satisfied in achieving something half-assed..

[7:73263] I took the lab recently (before my time ran out) there is a full day of config to do. Lots of everything some nice little surprises. A couple of the guys on the same day were caught out by the wording the way the questions were structured. You have to be able to understand it fully before you start working. Otherwise, it's back to the start you've wasted an hour. -Original Message- From: Reimer, Fred [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 July 2003 14:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: CCIE Lab experience! [7:73263] As far as I understand, the lab is not 2 days anymore. It is only one day. And they don't break things and have you find and fix them. You just have to configure the network correctly and answer some questions. You could pass the lab by just reading books, but you'd have to have a pretty special ability to understand things without actually configuring them on a real router.

[7:73263] Hi there, I have finished my CCNP exam. Well, I live in Sydney, Australia and I still could not find job. I wish to carry on with CCIE. I do not have problem with passing writing CCIE exam, but what about practical exam of 2 days duration. I have found some programs on the net. But is it enough to pass without practice. I have passed my CCNP by only reading books and downloading simulation programs. Can somebody give me advice whether I could carry on without real hand on experince? Is there some way to volonteer to work for free? Is there some way to get free CCIE Lab experience?

Well, I guess it's not like they also add and I don't even want to try the lab, is it? Once I saw a resume though that said something like Passed CCIE written test, which is half way of achieving CCIE certification. The passage half way made me chuckle, too.
