Hi Andre,
Thank you for sharing your experience! Indeed the L2 stuff in the lab
can be tricky especially with PPPoE.
Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to ask any questions on this
list, there's a lot of SP knowledge available
here :-)
You could try and do the lab in San Jose or RTP as there are a lot of
seats open in those locations.

Well, I dont want to violate nda rules, but it's well know that
basic L2 is preconfigured but you may encounter some troubleshooting
or some portions with specific requirements. My problem was that I
wasn’t full prepared for what they asked and some research on docume
ntation would be needed. Definitively the real lab is not the best t
ime to try something you never did before...

When you say L2 basics, you meant to say you could not bring your
frame-relay or ethernet or PPP. I thought frame-relay is
preconfigured and PPP in my opinion you can always skip and come
back later.

Hello guys
Unfortunately I’ve failed in my first attempt on the CCIE Service Pr
ovider exam. Eventhough I had I put all efforts and dedication on it
, I wasn’t really expecting to pass on the first attempt. It was jus
t 2 months of study since I passed the written. I decided to go to t
he lab with this short time pretty aware that this could happen. It’
s very hard to get a seat in Sao Paulo/Brazil for SP and I couldn’t
miss the chance to get lab experience ( or even pass ) when I found
one seat available on Cisco Website, probably from somebody dropped
due to payment.
I am using IPExpert as the main guide for my preparation and I can
tell you know that they are really good and cover in different
pieces every topics we you need to pass de exam. I’m also using INE
and practicing some scenarios proposed by Antonio Soares on his webs
ite.
What I can tell you about my experience is that I failed on the
basics: L2 (legacy), basic security and management. As many
questions are interdependent on the evaluation, I lost points
everywhere eventhough I could complete most of the other tasks. I
was pretty much well prepared for worst and didn’t pay attention to
basic stuff.
Now I will take some weeks off and then get back to IPE workbook 1
to focus on my weak areas and also some book reading, probably MPLS
Fundamentals.
At the end, I think the result was fair. If could complete those
basic tasks, I am not a Cisco Expert, YET!
CYA
