Hello guys
Unfortunately I’ve failed in my first attempt on the CCIE Service Provider exam. Eventhough I had I put all efforts and dedication on it, I wasn’t really expecting to pass on the first attempt. It was just 2 months of study since I passed the written. I decided to go to the lab with this short time pretty aware that this could happen. It’s very hard to get a seat in Sao Paulo/Brazil for SP and I couldn’t miss the chance to get lab experience ( or even pass ) when I found one seat available on Cisco Website, probably from somebody dropped due to payment. I am using IPExpert as the main guide for my preparation and I can tell you know that they are really good and cover in different pieces every topics we you need to pass de exam. I’m also using INE and practicing some scenarios proposed by Antonio Soares on his website. What I can tell you about my experience is that I failed on the basics: L2 (legacy), basic security and management. As many questions are interdependent on the evaluation, I lost points everywhere eventhough I could complete most of the other tasks. I was pretty much well prepared for worst and didn’t pay attention to basic stuff. Now I will take some weeks off and then get back to IPE workbook 1 to focus on my weak areas and also some book reading, probably MPLS Fundamentals. At the end, I think the result was fair. If could complete those basic tasks, I am not a Cisco Expert, YET! CYA Andre Vasquez
