CCIE Service Provider Study Plan

I really am back!!

Hi,

My original “Back Online” post was a little optimistic! :-)

I have been tied up work wise with major data projects and time with the family. Training wise I completed some VMWare and Executive Effectivenness courses since my lab attempt to keep the brain active.

Okay, so Lab Attempt number 2 is being planned – the keyword I have learned is “Focus” – more foccussed studying and using less materials than before – I have seen what is being asked and the difference between passing and failing is details – little details. Remember on a 3 part question with 9 points for that section, the 1st part may be okay to complete, the 2nd part might be difficult but doable however the 3rd part is difficult and will require an advanced knowledge. However this is the CCIE Lab exam.

I am scheduled for October 23rd – so here we go!!!!!!!

  2. Hi Stephen, really great to hear that you’re back! Almost 7 months to go and I’m sure this time you’re going to be as detail as possible. Wish you all the best.

  4. Guys, Cisco has just announced the new CCIE R&S 4.0, which includes MPLS and troubleshooting session. Let’s hope Cisco will not change the SP lab blueprint anytime near…
