I’ve put off my exam until Dec 28. While reading ipv6 fundamentals during the weekend, i realized that too much material was new to me. I panicked and hit the brakes.
So, the plan for the next 18 months or so is as follows:
- CCIE written on Dec 28; I need to concentrate to ipv6, SDN, multicast, IS-IS and MPLS
- I’m starting with the labs already because i need to do something practical
- I’m planning the first lab exam attempt around june next year, with the second attempt (positive thinking sucks) near December 2018 / feb 2019 by the very latest. I’m not planning to fail on the second attempt 😀
Remaining CCIE written TO-DOs:
August
IPv6 Fundamentals v.2
September
ipv6 Security (Vyncke) OR understanding ipv6 3rd ed
October
IP Multicast vol.1, 2016
