My Networking

Finaly, I found some spare time to finish MPLS update for my review kit. There are also some minor changes in other sections. Next update is planned somewhere in Q3’2010. There will be lot’s of changes (more topics, more diagrams, etc). Feel free to send any comments or suggestions.

CCIE R&S Quick Review Kit – Updated with MPLS !!

Enjoy.

And remember, the CCIE Quick Review Kit is, and always will be free of charge. If you find this booklet being sold anywhere, do not waste your money, you can always find a free copy on my blog. However, your gratitude is welcome :-)

I have updated my Review Kit for v4 exam. However, MPLS is still not there. First, it’s a big topic, so I want to spend some more time on preparing notes for it (I am short of time recently due to large projects I am involved in). Second, I will post a separate document which will be covering MPLS stuff only. Feel free to download the updated doc, and do not hesitate to send any comments or suggestions :-)

If you would like to create your own mind maps, I recommend using MS Visio. There is a standard stencil in every version called Brainstorming. It can be found  in the Business category. I haven’t used any other tools, so I cannot compare it, but it works perfectly. However, I recommend using copy-paste method of adding new concept lines, as the automatic positioning tool is sometimes unpredictible. Anyway, if you plan to start doing your notes as a mind-maps Visio is the tool you need.

As you know, the CCIE RS blueprint will be changed soon. I was lucky to pass the lab in April ’09, so it seems that I am not interested, at least for a next year. However, since I have seen many people struggling with updates just before the recertifcation time expires, I decided to update my knowledge (and kits) constantly, with all new features from v4 blueprint. There are actualy two main reasons for that. First, it will be much easier (and faster) for me to prepare myself for the recert if I already have the notes. Second, more important, there is never too much knowledge :-) So, watch out for updated CCIE RS Quick Study Kit soon (probably end of October ’09)

Here are my personal study materials. It’s a series of mindmaps I have created, which I thought it would be good to publish, so someone else might find them useful, too. However, those are not complete study materials. If you want to prepare yourself for any exam (especialy CCIE), you have to first read many good books (from Ciscopress) and CCO documentations to understand all technologies you learn. Then, lab the solutions up as much as you can (INE workbooks rule!). Also, if possible, attend some really good bootcamps, like Narbik’s or INE’s. At the end of your journey, you can skim through the below documents.

If you find any bugs, inconsistencies or if you have any suggestions regarding usefulness and the quality of those documents, please do not hesitate to unicast me.

Disclaimer! Although, I do my best to make those documents free of errors, it is possible that there might be some mistakes. I do not take any responsibility for any issues, especialy with passing any exams. You may use those materials for free, and on your own risk. Please, read the Disclaimer page (in the Booklet)
