Hi Ali,
Why is the IPexpert material not enough? Could you please explain why?
We cover really everything that's on the blueprint and our labs are
more difficult than the real thing, so I can really say that the
IPexpert material will teach you everything you need to know.

Yep... It's almost impossible to get a seat in SP (Sao Paulo). It
appears there only ONE seat offer per month for Service Provider
here, can u believe? But I had luck once I am sure I will again...
the secret is that the schedule system covers just the next 240 days
on the calendar so it slides every day at 0am PST. If the new date
is a business day and you are the first to search at 0:00:01am you
have a little chance to get your seat for 8 months later... or just
watch the website every day to see if any dropped seat appears. In
Sao Paulo is even worst, the proctor told me that exams are given
only on the first week of each month for 3 times (Mon, Wed, Fri)
where THE SP seat is on Fridays... you got to be kidding me!!!

As for the management questions they were 2 simple questions, but
one of them was a little bit more elaborated and I couldn’t complete
it as I decided to skip it and get back to my main L2 issue. At
that time I already knew that I wouldn't make it. I had to reload
the routers twice. I can recall exactly the exact problem now, but I
believe was something with TE and redistribution…

Hi Lala,
Sorry I thought these locations were always quite open in terms of
SP seats, that was the case when I was scheduling for it.
IT seems they filled up completely up completely up to April.

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 documentation would be needed. Definitively the
real lab is not the best time 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
Provider 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 just 2 months of study since I passed the written. I decided
to go to the 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 website.
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!
