Thanks for Sharing Adam and Abdel.
 
planning to go for this on April next year just before my SP written expires.
 
i don't know if it right to say it here but IPExpert hasn't released anything 
for SPv3 yet as it is a competitor product. But INE have released CCIE SPv3.0 
advanced technology classes that I've downloaded and now constantly watching 
the video classes.
 
I'm in the same boat as you as I don't have real world IOS-XR experience and 
soon as next month i'll be practicing using GigaVelocity and Vincent Zhou's 
sample lab to get the feel on IOS-XR.
 
All the best mate on your next try, hope you'll get it next time.
 
Cheers!

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_SP] CCIE SP Lab attend






I have attended the CCIE SP Lab last Thursday and as Abdel said it was huge 
though really simple so it’s basically only about speed and that was where I 
failed miserably 
Next time I have to complete the biggest 1st and the small 2nd section before 
the lunch so I’ll have enough time for 3rd and 4th sections
 
The majority of the questions where small and easy question and there where 
several big questions where I had to sit back and think them through to 
configure things in a modular way so that the config would work with the 
upcoming tasks nicely and would not require major tweaks
Next time I’ll try to complete all the small “don’t think just type fast” kind 
of questions first to finish up the lab and leave the big “design” questions at 
the end
 
They made you configure half of the stuff in XR and the other half in IOS 
though some configurations where completely on IOS 
 
I’ve also encountered a small bug between two 7600 which I thought its some 
nasty trick they play on me and I thought that when I’ll configure what I’m 
asked for it will break thins up -so I killed some time figuring out how they 
did the trick just to finally resign and than configured what I was asked to 
-and it just worked as intended so no tricks -just messed up simulator
And also I was missing some details needed for the configuration –like for 
example in one question a reference to a table with info –that even proctor 
could not find in the materials -so I killed some time searching for info that 
could have been enclosed with the question
 
There was no troubleshooting section but they made you to troubleshoot as you 
progress through the lab
 
 
This was my first CCIE attempt and I’m glad for the experience and looking 
forward for the next attempt but first I need to double up my speed 
-part of the lack of speed was no configuration experience with XR (don’t have 
those in the lab)
-as far as XR goes I was only preparing reading the configuration guides for XR 
and building an XR copy of what I have configured in IOS for all the 
technologies mentioned in the blueprints –and I’m still not sure about some 
details
I’m looking forward for the v3 work books
