Confirmed May 20 for JNCIP-M in Herndon...
Time to break out Harry's book... I've read a great deal of it already. Need to practice a few things on the olives to brush up.
Then, hopefully, its on to the JNCIE-M...

seraphus Member Posts: 307I have to respect those on these boards who announce their upcoming test dates for
all to see, and especially so when they back it with a pass.
Congratulations!Lab first, ask questions later -

ccie15672 Member Posts: 92 ■■■□□□□□□□Thanks everyone!
Dwater:
I can't really stress this enough. Download the sybex PDF and read it, and read all of the alternate solution type discussions that Harry gets into. Try labbing them all. I think Harry does a good job of over-preparing you for the exam.
I didn't actually do all of the exercises in the book. I just read the book, jotted down notes and thoughts as I read through the case studies, and I only labbed those things in the book that I wasn't really wrapping my brain around. I did a quick review of my notes the night before the exam (and in the car the morning of, as I was almost 2 hours early to the exam). This exam really is about BGP (iBGP, RR, confeds), OSPF, ISIS. You just need to understand how these things work and how to configure them in JUNOS.
Overall, I wouldn't say this exam was particularly difficult. There were a couple of "gotchas" but in terms of difficulty I don't think it was as difficult as the CCIE R&S. It was on-par I think with the CCIE Service Provider. This has me worried about the JNCIE. I bet you I'll need to study my ass off for that exam. I will definitely be labbing everything in that book...
Hope this helps. Also Olive is a lot easier to set up in VirtualBox then it is in VMware...

hoogen82 Member Posts: 272Just another note... For the JNCIE do see if you can get hands on the VPN configuration guides... Really helpful... and also if you could get or do a AVPN class from Juniper even better....IS-IS Sleeps.
