Reading MPLS Fundamental

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Crawling slowly for the Internetwork Expert CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Volume I version 5 – MPLS. I don’t have any background on MPLS and I thought reading MPLS from CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide (4th Edition)should at least give me a slight background of MPLS. Wrong, MPLS section on CCIE Routing [...]

Finished reading CCIE RS Exam Prep.

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

I’ve decided to read CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide (4th Edition)page-to-page, cover-to-cover. I have the previous one (3rd Edition) yet I used it for reference only.
The book arrived on 21 December 2009 and I’ve been using my annual Christmas Leave for reading. I did actually enjoying Christmas this year with friends and family [...]

Study Updates

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Multicast is a new domain for me as in the past I’ve never configured any real network for multicast scenario. Few weeks ago a colleague asked me about configuring multicast and I can only guessing what was the right thing to do.
I took the opportunity to study Multicast 3 weeks ago using IEWB version 5 [...]

Finished IEWB EIGRP

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Last night I almost turn my study table upside down due to boredom. It feels like it’s not moving anywhere. But I try to keep moving on with few labs every day. Rather than hit it in one go for 4 hours during the night, I’ll try to do whatever I can where my brain [...]

Internetwork Expert, this is very dissapointing!

Very dissapointing indeed

Finished IEWB RIP

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Finished IEWB RIP and moving to EIGRP…
OMG, when this is going to be over? I’ve finished RIP, quickly just to catch up with the time to get my written done once I finished all of the IEWB Vol. 1.
Can’t even face my computer anymore when I’m home. I’ve given it a 2 weeks break but [...]

(Almost) Finished IEWB RS Vol1 v5; Bridging and Switching.

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Well, kinda finished. I need to redo some weak spots such as dot1q tunneling, MST, PPPoE, Protected Ports, Flex Link, Fallback Bridging, and Private Vlan which I couldn’t really do it because the remote lab is full booked until Saturday.
I’ve been spending 7 6-hour sessions just to practice over and over for this workbook. [...]

Burnt Out

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

My mind is not getting any satisfaction tonight. This is actually my cooling down after 6 days of working and study and I really can’t take it anymore. I’ve been resuming my study starting it all over again since the last three weeks yet seems It’s getting harder just to read few more pages of [...]

Moving On…

Friday, February 20th, 2009

I downloaded the IEWB materials on Jan 1st, yes, that’s a new year and I couldn’t convince myself not to go near any computer.
I started the WB about 2 weeks ago. Kind of hard to resume studying after couple of months busy with work and fixing stuff for my new place. Anyway, excuses won’t keep [...]

Christmas Stole My Study Time.

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Since I commited my CCIE journey the road seems never ending. On those early months, I passionately studied and feel like I can counquer the any mountains by taking more coffees. Apparently, it takes more than just coffees and lack of sleeps. November and December was the hardest time where all of my time sucked [...]
