I've decided to start from my weakest points: Multicast, IPv6 and QoS.


Multicast is the first, the plan is:


	◆	IE Written CoD (6 videos on Module 7) and IPX VoD (3 videos on day 4 with exercices)


	◆	IE AdvTech CoD (Day 9 parts 5-6)


	◆	IPX WB1 labs 23,24


I leave the deepest practice after passing the written exam, now I'd like to build a strong theory base.

&ldquo;What is your purpose to take CCIE?   Who cares about the number if we want to take CCIE to learn the technology covered in the lab in a structured way?   If someone wants to take CCIE because he wants to ensure he has a solid foundation of the networking knowledge that he needs to work in the real life, why bother with the number?   And you will see in my later point, it's not the number that matters.   It's the experience, it's what you have done, it's the reputation, that matter.&rdquo;

...	Cisco engineering units are the emerging measure of global power.


	by Robert Cringely


&ldquo; My friend George Morton, who figured this all out, says that by knowing the right numbers to look at we can have a good idea what countries will be leading in technology &mdash; and presumably in economic development and power &mdash; in the years ahead.   The measure George likes is the number of Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts or CCIEs.


The CCIE is Cisco&rsquo;s top certification category and VERY hard to earn.   Being a CCIE doesn&rsquo;t mean you have Len Bozack on speed dial, but it might as well.   Cisco products dominate the Internet and CCIEs are Cisco gurus, so if you are serious about the Internet as a nation you&rsquo;ll have CCIEs hanging about, or that&rsquo;s the theory.   Conversely, if you just talk a good game as a country with technological aspirations, maybe you won&rsquo;t have many CCIEs at all &mdash; maybe none.   It&rsquo;s one way to determine who the posers are.&rdquo;]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>CCIE Written Study Tips by Jeff Rensink</title><dc:creator>user@domain.com</dc:creator><category>written</category><dc:date>2009-02-22T15:05:23+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.ifconfig.it/page4/files/5b4301b4902e06dc034f80badabee252-13.php#unique-entry-id-13</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ifconfig.it/page4/files/5b4301b4902e06dc034f80badabee252-13.php#unique-entry-id-13</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Useful tips for preparing the CCIE written exam, I&rsquo;m working on it!

The best advice for study from cciepursuit blog, he did&rsquo;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.

I&rsquo;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&rsquo;s just a urban legend!


Can&rsquo;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.

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&rsquo;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&rsquo;m a collaborative person. 


Soon I&rsquo;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&rsquo;re a great inspiration.   I&rsquo;ve found in those blogs lot of good advices about study method, material and clear explanation of hard techical aspects.
