Now I'm on journey, this isn't journey about go to some place to vacation but it's journey to CCIE. hmmm what CCIE it's a food or it's new model of the car :)) no no no, there's someone say it's hall of fame, the top of certified of network hmmm some people say it because CCIE is a top of certified from Cisco but now CCIE not one track, there is several track of CCIE routing switching, service provider, security, voice, storage and design. What about me, CCIE is journey to get something different the journey to make a network as specially si is (*red Cisco) to be part of my life.
The journey start from my CCNA in september 30 2005, not first attempt, 2nd attempt to pass it. It's because of my possition in company not safe, I don't have more knowledge about my job, I like zombie, to do follow instruction, just do working instruction. so I want to be more, study about network, thank to my friend, my senior, my teacher hoho aka Anwar CCIE#20281, until now he always to remind me work with my CCIE lab workbook, sometime we work lab together in some public place with remote lab. Short of story I pass CCNA 2nd attempt. CCNA is not everything about first time to know about network, a year after pass CCNA many about si is I never know, so make me to hard study and read about it ohhh. I like borrow a book cisco press series from my senior just to satisfy my angered.
December 2006, I determined to continue my certified. CCIP, I take BSCI, I failed on first attempt again :( it's make me little down for a while. April 2007 I pass BSCI 2nd attempt, june pass QOS 1st attempt, july pass BGP+MPLS 1st attempt. Now I'm CCIP. What next ...
August 31, pass CCIE written Routing Switching. but it's not a half of CCIE, just little of my CCIE huffff take a little breath.
And then .... my CCIE is begin, first take schedule lab on may 20, 2008 at tokyo. Cancel take schedule on same time but at sydney, find the place near from my country, because all of my CCIE is self fund. A few day after determined to sydney, I get bad news, how difficult to get visa go to ausy (*red australia) :( but I have good news, in hongkong open schedule about CCIE RS, I'm very happy hear that, to HK more cheap transportation fee. I will take at july 08, 2008. Now I'm in 60 days going to CCIE lab and always counting down.
To prepare my lab, I build own lab use dynamips with IE scenario in dedicated computer with fedora OS and AMD proc with 4GB memory and build own rack lab combine with dedicated computer fedora OS and intel proc with 512MB memory to emulate 3 router, because I don't have enough router to build it. One lab use full dynamips and a rack lab real router/switch combine with dynamips. Next time I will share my rack lab real router/switch combine with dynamips.
Is there anyone prepare CCIE too, come on share experience with me.
