I wonder if Cisco will make any changes after reading Wendell's
comment about shaving some of the Troubleshooting and Config
The short answer is that I think that the troubleshooting section was
attainable for a well-prepared candidate, and maybe a little too much
(maybe shave 10% of the tasks to be fair), but the config section was
too much by at least 20%. (My buddies co-authors thought roughly the
same on config, and maybe that the t'shooting needed to be shaved more
than my 10% guesstimate.)

Good point! They do that for ccna and ccnp to see what the exam

I think Cisco should offer a tutorial on their main web site which
goes over the basics of the new GUI system so anyone can see it
24/7. Cisco gives you an idea/feel for the what the CCDE
"practical" is like on their web site, why not the new CCIE?

I just got done reading that article, I pasted my response to it on

So I have a few more things to add/ask. Wendell goes into the
"learning curve" of the GUI interface, and says there is NO
tutorial beforehand so you lose some time trying to get used to it.
What do you think about this? Do you think it's worth doing
diagrams still? Also, what I worry about is speed. I am working on
my speed, and I am moderately quick but I am thorough as well so
obviously I have to work on that as well. Who here is a little
stressed on this?
Michael Lipsey, I know you are taking your lab soon what are your
thoughts (just a few days away I know)?
Anyone else? I am at least 6 months away from a lab attempt, going
to do my written by next month and by time I get to the lab it will
have time to "cook" and I'll get more input.

My response to Wendell:
"Hey Wendell, this is great feedback. I have heard of the elusive
lab book disappearing in favor of the new "electronic" lab book. I
hope I can get around that. Before, you could put a piece of paper
above the actual lab sheets and "trace" out a topology and quickly
put labels on it.
So now I wonder if it's worth even making what I call a "summary
diagram" - meaning I like to see everything that's going on what
routers are connected to what switches, the interfaces and a little
about what RP's are on there and what's going on in the background.
I realize this may take more time now I have to fumble with the GUI.
I am preparing heavily for the v4.0 written as we speak so I am
around 6 months + from a lab attempt. I wonder how they will tweak
it or if this is the "final" version?
Thanks again, awesome article and you are the man.
Nick

Hi guys,
I just wanted to share an interesting write-up on v4.0 by Wendell
Odom: http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/46561
User interface thing is ... a bit unnerving.
