CCIE Candidate

InternetworkExpert.com makes a major corporate announcement today at 11:00 PDT.  No, I don’t know what it is, but I have my guesses.  ;-)  Sign up for the webcast.
I didn’t get into the webcast, but from a buddy of mine who is, I get this tidbit:
“They’re not going to be purchased by Cisco. Turned that down [...]

Semi-live blogging as I watched the CCIE TV event from the Cisco learning network.  This broadcast covered introductory comments, insight into the much-blogged-about Cisco 360 Learning Program for CCIE R&S, updates on the Cisco Mobile Lab initiative, an update on the CCDE certification, how the beta is doing for the CCIE Wireless track, comments on [...]

Cisco has launched their own authorized CCIE training program for the routing and switching track. The program is being referred to as the “Cisco 360 Learning Program”. Cisco will be issuing more “official” details in November.  From what I can tell so far, Cisco is offering a program giving the candidate a [...]

I can tell you guys that having almost all the known vendors materials at your
disposal can work counter productive, this was the case at least a while for me.
I kept switching between vendor materials looking for the perfect way to study
for the CCIE Lab. This has all to do with my study method. According to [...]

I don’t have much time before the final day of class here in Pasadena, but I thought I’d give a brief overview of the highlights of the class thus far.  (for me)
Day 2 - OSPF / EIGRP - I have not had much time before this week to look at OSPF filtering.  Narbik’s lecture was [...]

Just a quick blurb on NANOG, which ends tomorrow technically, but is pretty much over (just doing breakfast).  One coworker was unhappy with the amount of new and educational material presented.  He was right, there wasn’t that much new and hardcore information.  But there isn’t supposed to be.  NANOG is about schmoozing and making contacts, [...]

Well, one day down and I already feel much more confident about the lab exam moving forward.  I have decided to come back in January to repeat the class right before my scheduled lab on Feb 3, 2009  (yes, that’s the final date move - payment to come soon)
I am moving a little slower than I [...]

Narbik’s bootcamp starts today….I’m excited to be focused on lab prep for a whole week straight!  I’ll be writing more about the class as the week progresses.  (if my brain is functioning by the end of the day) 
Now, time to see how little I really know…

Hi. I am a Staffing Manager for AT&T. I was recently asked to fill a position, Sr. Network Manager, in [...]

I’ve always believed, as some say, that breaking things and then fixing them is the best way to learn.  Well, I must have learned a frickin’ great deal after breaking redistribution on this lab.  Unfortunately I could not move past this section to the other items until it was working properly.
After cheating a bit (okay [...]

I figure today I will post before I begin my Saturday study session…I haven’t been posting much recently because by the time I’m finished studying I can barely keep my eyes open.
One week until Narbik’s bootcamp and I’m pretty convinced that I will be waiting until January 2009 to take my lab exam…too much information, [...]

I’m going to be at the upcoming NANOG in downtown LA.  If anyone wants to hang out at the conference, or maybe go see some famous place like the Sunset Bar and Grill, let me know.
