Hey everyone, I must appologize for being such a lurker and only posting sporatically at best. Anyway, as of Friday (passed BCRAN) I'm halfway through my CCNP, and plan on knocking out BSCN and CIT in the next couple of months. I'm kind of looking ahead, though, to trying to prepare for the mammoth CCIE Written and, possibly, the CCIE lab sometime in the future. I have a few routers in a lab here at home (a 2501, an ancient 3801 and a 766 although I don't have ISDN) and a 1900 Catalyst. I do some work in the field, but mostly it's with smaller access routers, I think a 2610 was the largest I've gotten to configure. I live in a pretty rural area, so the ISPs are the only places that really have the kind of stuff needed for more advanced experience. So, what I'm basically wondering is, if and when I do get to preparing for the CCIE, if I'm better off paying to rent a lab for a day and struggling with pre-written labs to try to do. OR, taking one or more of Cisco's instructor-led courses. I'm sure there's a hefty price tag on them, but as I'm visually impaired I THINK I can get them paid for. The disability does have its perks. Anyway, any input from someone who's taken any of these classes, as well as plain old CCIE written/lab study tips, would be appreciated. Thanks. ~Seth~ _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
