JNCIP - Is It doable with just the book and Olives

god_of_thunder

I've gotten 7 Olive's to run on my laptop and wanted to know If I could give the JNCIP a good shot by studying from scratch.
I've studied my CCNA and CCNP concepts well. I'm comfortable with OSPF.

Can I get the depth of knowledge required to clear the lab by labbing the scenarios in the book and messing with the Olives? I'm a fast learner.
Is the JNCIP really at the level of the CCIE Service Provider?

Thanks , Any advice appreciated.

Yip, you can absolutely study and pass the JNCIP with just the book and a set of olives. That's honestly what I did. Although I would recommend studying from the JNCIS book as well. I'm rereading it now to recert my JNCIE-M and I think that it would have really helped to study from the JNCIS book too. Granted I'm sure you took the JNCIS-M or you wouldn't be to this point, but don't shelf that book just yet

I've heard that the IP is on the level as a CCIE from multiple people who have done both but I can't speak for myself considering I haven't taken a CCIE. But suffice it to say that if you put a good amount of time and you are a fast learner then you should be able to pass it in a relatively short time period.
