Hello Jared ,
Nice challenge :-)
I wish you the best of luck and i am sure you will pass the exam from first
attempt.
I have personally used IPExpert material in my preparation but i couldn't be
blamed if i prefer another vendor to IPExpert. However , i could admit that
lot's of stuff are covered in your products (not covered in others) which are
pretty important for the lab exam preparation.
I was previously informed by your sales team that the new SP workbook releases
will be outstanding. I am sure you did great effort on those new products so
good luck and i wish you all success.
IPExpert have really contributed so much in my knowledge and preparation and
without them i wouldn't have passed the exam. Many thanks to Mike Down from the
sales team , he is a great person.
Good luck.

Hi Group,
I’ll respectfully contest Hisham’s comment that the solution
offered to SP students at the moment by IE is better – it isn’t - and I’m
putting my money where my mouth is. J
The current IPExpert Service Provider materials are being
revamped in July by Marvin Greenlee, and I’ll be assisting him. I’m also
simultaneously using those materials and ONLY those materials for preparation
for my lab in August.
I sent out an email a couple of weeks ago looking to get this
list active and to announce my plans. So here they are: over the next month
I’ll be working through all of the technology based labs in our workbook and,
along with Marvin making any changes/improvements I see as necessary. If anyone
else wants to assist me, just purchase the current workbooks (if you haven’t
already) and work along with me. When the new product is released you’ll get a
new copy of the updated materials for Volume 1 and 2 of the next version (which
is always the case when we update our materials – existing customers get the
new ones).
What I’m saying is that the *current*
IPexpert materials are good enough to get me through (and should be for you as
well) and I’ll add all my own notes to the new version (as well as Marvin’s
updates too). Some of those notes will be posted in this list via the form of
comments, and those challenges people communicate to me as they work through
the workbook will inspire my notes. So you know the score – my study starts
tomorrow (albeit I’ve done my written exam already and have a few things up my
sleeve in terms of additional knowledge – I’m not just a pretty face). J
When my blog goes live in a few weeks I’ll blog about my study,
but until then, I’ll post in this list on OSL *every day* that I study (and I
don’t study every day, nor do I
recommend anyone does) letting you know what I’m doing. If you work along with
me I’ll discuss things with you and Marvin will assist us all with guidance so
that we can compress the timeframe for people to get ready for their exam. For
those of you who work *with* me in
July/August you will be especially well prepared to either sit on the Service
Provider bootcamp here in Columbus, OH which is running August 18-22 to polish
you in your preparation or take your lab directly (if you’re a gambler).
You don’t get offers much better than this (the chance to
study alongside an instructor day by day) and once I’ve paid for my exam I’ll
let you ALL know the date, so pass or fail the whole world will see. I’m 2 for
2 right now and have enough faith in our materials that I’ll bet my success
rate on them (and IPexpert are already going to bet my exam costs on it too so
we all have skin in the game).
Let me know if you’re in (and a training advisor too if you need to
purchase any materials), and please email the whole group with your questions
as we work together in the coming month or two – this is a team game, where we
all get to win. J
Chat later.
Cheers,

Hello Nouman ,
IE products are number one in the SP track. I suggest you
focus on the 10 full day labs and do them several times. Also it would be a
good idea to read IPExpert and ccbootcamp products. No need to lab them up.
Regarding the topics you mentioned , here are my recommended resources which i
have personally used :
1- SP QoS ------> End to End QoS design (Cisco Press) +
CCO documents
2- SP Multicast ------> Interdomain Multicast Solutions
(Cisco Press) + Developing IP Multicast Networks (Cisco Press) + MPLS and VPN
architectures vol 2
chapter 7 (MVPN)
3- L2 VPNs/AToM ---> Layer 2 VPN architectures (Cisco
Press)
4- TE -----> Traffic Engineering with MPLS (Cisco Press)
I suggest you stay away from MPLS Config on Cisco IOS software as it has lots
of technical issues and printing faults. However , you can just keep it as a
quick reference for any MPLS related topic but not as your foundational
resource.
Thank you.

Hi,
Just joined this list. I hope this list is not as quiet as
the GS CCIE SP list.
Can anyone give his views regarding SP products by
IPExpert. I am using IE products right now.Do you think it is still necessary
to buy IPExpert Workbook or may be CCBootcamp?
Also if you people can give ur suggestion on preparing the following
topics,
Ø SP QOS
Ø SP Multicast
Ø L2 VPNs/AToM
Ø TE
I found “MPLS Configuration on Cisco IOS Software” as the
best resource for SP preparation.
Hope to hear some gud comments.
Regards,
Nouman
