Comment on Why Not Recertify With A Written Exam From Another Track? by Alejandro

Alejandro — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:47:03 +0000

Hello Ethan,

Your analysis looks logical. It takes a lot of time and effort to complete whatever track you get into, some tracks take less than others, but in the end it will be a long journey, and time is something you always don’t have, specially if you have children. By the other hand, if your regular duties at work do not require a deep knowledge in other areas such as voice or security, it will become more of a personal goal to achieve, than a professional one.

I wish you a high passing score in your recert exam

Why not study for CCIE voice written exam?
Passing CCIE voice written exam will re-certify you as CCIE R&S and will push you to pursue CCIE voice

Mr. Ethan,

How about attending a R&S boot camp as a refresher?

I would love to have you in the class again.

That’s a pretty big distinction. I mean, the written test is multiple choice. If you even have a clue, you can make pretty decent grades on “uh.. this one sounds right, I think”.

What routing technology uses the acronyms PE and CE?

1. Bob
2. Sacramento
3. Green
4. MPLS

Okay.. maybe I’m exaggerating but you know what I mean. You’ll rock it.

I have made peace, and I don’t have to deal with another lab at this point. That would definitely be a dealbreaker.

Yup.. you’re recertifiable alright So.. it sounds like you’ve made peace with your quest. Nice. That’s cool. At least you don’t have to deal with the lab again, do you?

Good luck!

How much of the CCIE blueprint items do you actually work on with your current position?

Are you looking at studying for another CCIE or go for the CCDE?

Best wishes and enjoy your studies…

NMC hooked me up with access to the written exam prep material again, plus they hope to have the question database updated with version 4 practice questions in a couple of weeks.

Comment on NMC DOiT Vol.2 Scenario 23 - frame-relay inverse-arp IP DLCI-number + area nssa translate type7 suppress-fa + IPv6 Redistribution Using include-connected + Stateful NAT + QoS drop + Login Block by James Huang

Hi Ethan,

In the OSPF problem (w/o forwarding address suppression), what is the reason R4 choose the type-5 LSA (E1) from R3 instead of the type-7 LSA (N1) from CAT1? It seems that the N1 route is better than the E1 route in terms of distance.
Also according to RFC 3101 (sec 2.5, step 6e), a type-7 LSA with P=1 is prefered over a type-5 LSA when they have the same distance.

It seems Cisco did not implement this according to RFC 3101. Or am I missing something here?

Comment on Thoughts About Online Privacy by Darby.Weaver

Revisiting the subjet:

Let’s see - since I published my view here I’ve since helped to make Sadikhov.com 100% dump free and as such I traded a good deal of my own online popularity in the process.

Also, since this event, I took notice of the extreme rate at which people actually take the dump for the CCIE Lab versus actually working hard and harder to pass the damned thing. Since a lot of my online popularity comes from the CCIE and old and new - I took a bit of a hit here too.

Finally - the legal thing with Dynamips which Cisco does not seem to be worried about (SAS fixes this soon enough anyway)… I took a hit in that department.

So… being online can be a two-edged sword, I went from like 99% totally beloved to about 50-60% over a few issues that seem to be very close and dear to a lot of people really fast.

There is also Cram for flashcards, it works on the Mac, the iPhone, and iPod Touch. Cram has a library of built in Cisco tests that can be shared with associates and allows you to study with photos and sound.

Having just received Narbik’s new Advanced Workbook I can only say that if his troubleshooting book is half as good as this it will still be amazing. Well worth every penny and probably a beer or two on top of that.

I highly recommend the 360 program. The VoDs are filled with all kinds of wonderful information. I also enjoy the 4 hour labs, as they cover quite a bit in each one.
