Mission CCIE in Fast Track Mode

As the title of blog suggest, that I'm already a CCIE aspirant; however for a long time it was put on back burner. Main reason for it were that I changed my job and was getting acquainted with the new job and the role.
With new roles, come additional responsibilities. Now a days working on revamping the complete network architecture of my company. It will be mainly have benefits of saving IPv4 addresses ( which is now already comparable to gold ). Another reason for this project is to simplify the over complex network; which will reap its benefits in good quality of Internet service to our customer.

Getting back to the track, now I'm putting  CCIE again in the agenda and that too in Fast Track mode.
I'm doing as of now couple of analysis; varying from Lab Rack rental to weak areas to be worked upon.
Having bit of confidence on my Dynamic Routing protocols, main areas as of now to be concentrated are IPv6, Multicasting and Bit of Switching. Since I already have completed my CCIP, I'm convinced that MPLS and MPLS VPN will be more of a revision.

Will be posting now more often ( If time permits me to do so). I will try to put more topic on CCIE and my experiment with technology.

Poem on CCIE written by wife of CCIE to be...

Guys,

Just for the clarification, this isn't written by MY WIFE :-)
It was mailed by one of my friends years ago, anyways I think its true as well as Funny too...


THE WOES OF A WIFE...

Loneliness, boring hours and silence is for me,
meet me I’m the wife of a CCIE-to-be,

Nothing to do but to read the stories of wizards and witches,
while my husband stare at his routers and switches,

My days have become long and drab,
only because he has to give his lab,

To him I wouldn't look so dull and drony,
If only he'd leave alone his IP Telephony,

For me, no outing no romance no disco,
ah! how I hate this word "CISCO",

We could better discuss and plan OUR future,
but no! he's more interested in MPLS architecture,

I love him with all my heart and body and soul,
but he has eyes only for the routing protocol,

I have to beg him to take me to a mall,
between him and me is always a "firewall",

My good old "Cisco-free" days are lost in a mist,
I sure wish I could use his "access list",

My woes are as vast and as deep as a sea,
meet me I’m the wife of a CCIE-to-be......

My purpose to start blogging

My purpose to start this blog is primarily to track the progress or say my QUEST to CCIE. I won't say that blogging on this topic is my original Idea. I came across a very good blog CCIE Pursuit. I like his idea of blogging issue and updates, so that he can track his status. Since past few days I'm talking idea to become CCIE very seriously. I have as of now started reading out topic and discussion out there on internet before I start full fledge studies.

I will try to keep this blog updated with interesting topics and my bloody mistake :-)
