My strategy towards the CCIE is as follows:
- Complete Jeff Doyle’s TCP/IP Vol-1 by end of Feb 2008
- Complete TCP/IP Vol-2 by end of April 08
- Complete Cisco Lan Switching by June 08
- Complete Wendell Odom’s Official CCIE guide by mid August 08
- Take the CCIE written by August 25th
- Enroll in an online CCIE course for the Lab
For now, I am slogging through the first book. Thus far,I have used dyangen/dynamips to work through each case study/configuration and troubleshooting
exercise in the book. Dynamips is the best thing that happened to anyone interested in simulating Cisco topologies.
I normally summarize each chapter to not more than 2-3 sheets to serve me as a quick cheat-sheet. I plan to record this cheat-sheet info online, through this
blog. The purpose is so that, I can look up my notes from work during lunch as a quick revision. If it helps you as well that’s great.
If this violates any legal stuff, please let me know and I will revert to paper.
