| Hi members I thought I should post a comment from a indivdual that just completed his CCIE track..
From: Arturo Molina
Hi all,
The process I used for my CCIE preparation was the following:
1. I took the CCNP/CCDP track.....one by one (not Foundation).....using
Cisco Press and Osborne/McGrawHill books mostly (also I took some
courses
from Mentor and CCTI)
2. Then I went for the written. This was a very difficult test for me,
because it is memory based and it covers a lot of material. Most of
the
information you will need for that test is in the CCO. I will
recommend,
reading all the material and taking it once in order to measure the
level of
the test and then you should be able to focus on your weakest subjects.
3. The CCIE Lab is all about being able to spot the issue. First you
have
to know all your theory (the one that you learned with your CCNP/CCDP
and
the written) then you will need to start spending a lot of time
practicing
different scenarios, try accessing a nice Pod of routers and if you can
a
Terminal Server will really help. I didn't have access to the Cat5000
or
the ISDN Sim, so I used some VLAB's from Mentor.
I took a BootCamp in ARS Limited in Virginia. That was a very good
course!
The only things you have to memorize are this names: Kennedy Clark,
Jeff
Doyle, Bassam Halabi, Andrew Bruce Caslow and Valeriy Pavlichenko. Get
those
books!!!
Good luck,
Arturo Molina
