I passed that one a few months ago. It was quite challenging, but if your on your way to CCIP you've probably already taken MCAST/QoS which is another tough test.
To prepare I used "MPLS and VPN architectures" by Ivan Pepelnjak and also "Advanced MPLS Design and Implementation" by Vivek Alwayn. The second book was much more pertinent to the test and I believe is being revised for test, but check ciscopress.com for that. I have had a bit of MPLS experience, but I'm not a huge fan of L3 VPNs/vrf stuff. I also did a few labs. BTW, I'm currently doing beta testing with some of cisco's new AToM features, their implementation of the draft-martini stuff. Anyway the Ethernet over MPLS and ATM over MPLS stuff is working great and seems like it will be a great thing for us service providers. Good luck on test, let me know if you have other questions. As hard as the MPLS test was, the optical test was WAY harder, so if your gonna do that one...beware :) Mike ------------------- Mike Bernico [EMAIL PROTECTED] Illinois Century Network http://www.illinois.net (217) 557-6555 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 6:06 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Took the MPLS exam and flunked [7:47830] > > > Hi Group, > > Today I took the MPLS exam and I flunked.I used the book MPLS and VPN > architecture(First edition) by Ivan Pepelnjak.From my > experience this book > is not sufficient to prepare for the exam.About the exam it is not too > toughf, if proper material would have been there. > The passing mark is also too high,it is 867.I scored 798.. > If any knows some good links for preparing for the exam.Pls suggest. > > Kind Regards /Thangavel > > 186K > Reading,Brkshire > Direct No -0118 9064259 > Mobile No -07796292416 > Post code: RG16LH > www.186k.co.uk > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, > but in rising every time we fall ." > -- Nelson Mandela > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > ********************************************************************** > This e-mail is from 186k Ltd and is intended only for the > addressee named above.
