It will pay off, I'm sure! I spent some time earlier working through some of the workbooks for the DC track, and trying to figure out who I need to send a strongly-worded e-mail to get them to bring a DC Mobile Lab to SA.

No mobile lab is a killer. I dont see why they cant bring all the disciplines out. I mean, you connect to the equipment overseas anyways.

The added costs of having to go overseas to write, which also adds the pressure, is something i really dont want to experience.
 
This is true. At worst, the wife and I will plan our next holiday to Brussels and I'll go do it there. As if it isn't expensive enough, I could honestly do without the added pressure. Still hoping for the best though.

Studying on a saturday night and im feeling sorry for myself!

Does make me feel better, in a bastard kind of way, knowing others (like Rishalin) are probably doing the same at the moment.

Stay strong to all the guys grinding through whatever exams they may be doing. Think of the end goal, and in my case, i think of how i have to pass, because my home life is starting to suffer from this stupid exam!

I'm so caught up in the virtual labs I only seen this now :)
 
How did you guys do this weekend? How many hours did you slave away? Must be getting close for some of you now... Good Luck :D
 
I actually took it easy this weekend, knowing that this week will be hell.

I have come to the conclusion that the exam will be luck of the draw. Its pretty hard to be 100% sharp on everything, so I am hoping that they ask the stuff i am good at, and little of the stuff that I am not 100% on.

Its my first attempt, so i dont know what to expect. Will see by the end of this week.
all i know is this friday evening, i will have a beer in hand.
 
Weekend was set at just studying and doing labs for me racked up about 30hours odd. Good luck Syntax :)
 
lol... I love those. The little f%$#ers fall very hard when they step into the real world.

The CCIE is impressive, the rest can easily be obtained through brain dumping.

There are people out there with a stack more impressive qualifications
IE 4x CCIE's and JCIE's etc
or this guy is quite impressive, or at least his signature is.

Naren Mehta, CCIE # 9797 (R&S, Security, & SP)

Hey Guys,

I'm writing my CCNP TSHOOT exam tomorrow morning. After I pass that it's onto CCIE R&S. I plan to get my CCIE written exam completed by the End of July 2013. A big challenge but I'm definitely going to give it a bash!

After passing the CCIE written exam I need to look at buying kit for preparing for the LAB exam. Is there anyone out there who would be keen on going in on buying the kit and we set it up and take turns using the LAB for our studies. After we pass we can sell the kit and try to recover as much of the money spent on it as possible. Another alternative is to rent out access to the LAB kit, to recover the money.

I am also looking for anyone in South Africa who is busy studying their CCIE R&S, and would like to team up for in study group. Always good to bounce ideas and questions off fellow students.
 
There's a difference between a 14 year-old with a CCNA and a 24 year-old with a CCIE. I'm not even going to get into this. Go away.

Anyone there that would be keen on starting a CCIE e-study group of sorts?

I am busy prepping for the CCIE R+S lab, and I figured I'd ask if anyone else would be keen?

PM me if you want.

Cheers.

I see you had posted for a CCIE R&S e-study group back in 2012. Have you written the exam/s yet? How did they go?
 
what is you guys take on Juniper certification?

Juniper training is expensive 35k for 10days but luckily work sending me for juniper wireless training next week (JNCIS-WLAN) :D

will see how it goes and see which route to go juniper or cisco

Juniper Certs are good too. For example most companies have a layered model whereby they would use juniper firewalls and Cisco for layer 2.

Cisco is more popular because they had the market from way back in my opinion.
 
True cisco is more popular but apparently JNCIE is tougher to get then CCIE how true it is i don't know.

problem is too many vendor certificates.
 
I wouldn't mind having a Juniper certification on my resume, even if just an entry-level certification.

the more the better.

need to do HP AIS and Mitel cert this year as 1 of our clients are running HP. They had another company install the switch and PBX but are charging a fortune per hour for support. we want to take over all the support but the company that is currently doing it don't want to give us the admin username and password because we are are not certified. :wtf:
