CCIE Preperation

Not really a WH40k blog but here goes... "So, its time to embark on my CCIE." Those are not words a man utters lightly. Out of the 3 CCIE's i will be chasing which one to start with? R+S, is a good candidate, obviously. Voice, this is a good candiate because 90% of my work is in this sphere. Service provider, i'd love to do this one first but its of the least practical benefit. Lets start with the CCIE everyone starts with. Routing and Switching. what do i need? 1. a plan (2 month, 6 month, 12 month and finally 18 month plan) 2. equipment 4. complete CCIE written 5. book travel and accom 6. book practical 7. contingency for retesting
