Old but funny post of Greg Ferro and his Network Dictionary: Mendicant.
“While Cisco isn’t a religion, the study and learning process has some monastic qualities such as all time spent studying or practicing, poverty due to study and lab time.”
So, thanks to my girlfirend for all her pacience! She deserves it.
ProctorLabs
IPexpert gave me a voucher for a free ProctorLab session as a bonus for the BLS that I bought. The voucher ia valid for a year so I’ll use with when I’ll feel more prepared.
Thanks IPExpert and ProctorLabs!
Lab fail

No, it’s not me. My date is not soon.
The best advice for study from cciepursuit blog, he did’t pass but the first time is very hard:
2) Question interpretation. This was the big one. A majority of the questions would not come out and tell you what technology to use, but would rather use a description of that technology. Sometimes these descriptions were either foreign to me or they concentrated on a minor feature of said technology. This threw me. Sometimes I could mine the documentation using some of the keywords to figure out what the technology was, but there were a couple of descriptions that just did not make sense to me.

In the CCIE lab there are two models of switches:
# Catalyst 3550 series switches running IOS version 12.2 – IP Services
# Catalyst 3560 Series switches running IOS version 12.2 - Advanced IP Services
This post will be updated as I find more informations.

IPExpert BLS - paper
The first part of IPExpert Blended Learning Solution, the printed workbooks, has arrived:
I’ve also downloaded the Audio Lectures (920MB, 30 tracks). Very high quality but a bit scary: is it really that Cisco Proctors make jokes with router configurations? I hope that’s just a urban legend!
Can’t wait for my BLS to arrive and to start watching the videos. I got it for just $999,00, plus the cost of the printed workbooks.

Lazy CCIE journey
05/10/08 12:03 Filed in: ccie
So, this is the beginning of my lazy CCIE journey. No accurate timeline, no deadline, no hurry. This blog is just a way to keep track of my progress, the material I use and anything else related to Cisco CCIE R&S Certification.
Two key points:. First: I’ll write this section in eglish, all the personal or non-CCIE post will be added in the homepage. Second: this blog is intended to be for personal use but I hope It will help others. Any contributor is well accepted, I’m a collaborative person.
Soon I’ll insert a post with all the others CCIE blog of people more motivated and prepared than I am. I read those blogs daily and I think they’re a great inspiration. I’ve found in those blogs lot of good advices about study method, material and clear explanation of hard techical aspects.
Enjoy it.
