Well, here I go...

I'm using IEWB-RS workbook version 3, I believe. Time to see how the big boys play.

Is that for getting your CCIE? Attempting your first Lab Exam? Or finishing this first practice lab?

I took the approach for my first labs that time didn't matter... and I spent many fine hour researching topics in the online documentation. But I did limit each lab to just a weekend. Oh -- and I used the old obsolete ones in the Cisco Press books so I wouldn't "waste any of the good labs." Now with the IE, IP, NLI, and NMC labs -- I'm hoping I can get through most of them before Cisco changes the lab

Did you do the IE Core Labs?

MrD

That's for passing the lab...I'm planning my first attempt for May. I haven't done the core workbook, but am thinking about getting it. Heard good things.

Yeah I'm not worried about the time either...just making sure I fully understand all of the technologies being used is my primary goal at this point.

Good Luck!

MrD

Definitely will do. Thanks for the advice!

good luck, and remeber with the IE labs, no books allowed only the docs CD!!

Lab 1 sets the trend! my first internetworking expert lab, I looked in the doc cd more than I ought to, which was a good indication I wasnt ready for it.

MrD

It went pretty well. Had to use more than just the docs CD, though

I just started the Internetwork Expert Class on Demand...80 hours! I'll let everyone know how they are.

MrD

Well, I just finished 4 hours worth of the IE class on demand. I was going to stop for some NFL, but I'm in a groove and think I'll do another 4 hours

And searching on the doc CD is not allowed, you should know where to find what by using the Index.

MrD

Alright, I gotta call it quits for the day. 11 hours of vid's is enough...tunnel vision
