| I'm using the same equipment as you are. Planning on taking it by the end of the month. Caslow, Doyle, Boson, a practice lab and my production environment I hope will be enough for the written.
Difficult to study but must press on.
Living in NYC right now. Sleeping w/ one eye open.......
Cheers and good luck. | |

| Hi
I took this exam this morning...crashed and burned unfortunately with a score of 68%...just 2% short..but a miss is as good as a mile as they say in this part of the world.
Exam was 100 questions, with review. That's where I made my mistake. I didn't take the time to review things properly, just rushed through. At the end, I also had an opportunity to review any question I wished, but I was conscious of getting back to work, and so, didn't have my full attention on the task at hand. I intend re-taking this exam next week, while the information is fresh in my mind...
Let me know if you have any questions which I can help with?

arround.

take this one, my goal is by the end of the year.
i was in a hurry but, due to the events in
ny my previously approved lab prep is now in limbo so i can take my time.
what resources are you using to prep ???
me
caslow bridges, routers and switches
ccie exam cram
boson ccie #1

| Hopefully you're right...would be a major pain to fail it again...especially when it costs $300 each time!
I'm using Boson 1 & 3, Jeff Doyles Routing TCP/IP, and McGraw Hill All in One CCIE Study Guide. I also have the course notes for the BCMSN, in addition to a few white papers on Token Ring.
Without breaking the NDA, I can say I got nothing at all on packet/frame breakdown. Got a few on RSRB, a lot on OSPF, and BGP (to be expected I suppose). | |

| Hey guys... I passed mine not too long ago.. and all I could say that I had alot of token ring on my test.. I passed it though.. The test might of changed since then. I haven't posted lately or gone through the Cisco site or spoken to my CCIE buddies about it but I am assuming that Cisco has changed the test and has made it more easier. I mean Token Ring? come on now guys who the hell see's token ring out there lately? but hey read up Caslow and TCP/IP book and the Lan switching book and thats it... there's alot of websites to visit like.. www.thetestpage.net/ccie which gives you the token ring and other stuff you will need for the test.. Just drop me an email and I can let you know the websites to visit for practice questions and documents to read for this monster.. Hey it helped me and I passed, Im now waiting for LAB...... my email tulcingopuebla@hotmail.com
try emailing me since I check my email frequently.... sorry for not popping up into the room lately.... later | |

I see token ring in about every project I go to. It exists to some degree in about every large network I see, typically in a mission critical role. The ability to support token ring is one of the things I think makes a good engineer.

I agree ... in spades. Just one for instance ... a banking client at my previous job used DLSW over a frame relay WAN to take over 1200 ATM machines to a token ring that talked SNA to an IBM mainframe. It's out there.
If you ask me, token ring will not be disappearing from the written and lab for a long time. Cisco has a strategic partnership with IBM; one of the terms of that agreement was that IBM would stop making routers and use Cisco's.
Do you really think John Chambers would allow Cisco to reward that kind of partner by taking mission-critical IBM technology out of the training path for the world's best internetworking engineers?
I don't!
FWIW,

| Hey Madchef how are you buddy?? I am actually happy right now that I have passed my ESE for Enterasys.. just came back from testing center and like to let everyone know about their test which is very easy.. They actually give you the questions in their website(well atleast some of them) but they were easy. Ok, so what have you done lately Madchef? have you taken anything else other than Cisco? I mean the token ring issue of the test is not that hard just read up the Rossi sheet on the website I gave before and that should cover the Token Ring part of it. I went to the CCPREP CCIE bootcamp and it helped me out alot. It's been a long time since I have done any projects with token ring, I did it like a year ago at Chase in New York. I have been doing alot of everything and have been messing around with other hardware manufacturers (routers/switches) so that I can recommend to customers but I mean so far as for the core part of it... I think Juniper kicks Cisco's butt... I don't know about you guys but I think that Juniper is getting better..... | |

AFAIK it means to agree with no reserve (but I've been wrong before...)

Funny. A non-native English speaker who answers questions concerning English colloquialisms about which a native English speaker is clueless. Is this anything like when "they" show that Canadians (or any other random country) know more about American politics than Americans do?
D, I am forever humbled in your presence.
