Go CCIE Go!! - A Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert

I agree Joe , that is my liking is the timed labs , I think they are great . And I have done x2 of the IE labs so far and the lab itself is stimulating / great and learning new things , but I get stuck between a rock and a hard place say on the finite details of a particual feature and look forward / need the details for example like Petr gives in his awsome posts on the blog for example I got NTP authentication wrong and didn’t learn about it in the mock lab solution as they didnt talk about it all I got was the correct config commands , I had to go elsewhere to understand why I got it wrong after viewing the configs.. Just the mock labs I have done so far eg. Netmasters were very detailed into why you got something wrong and that was very helpful in learning , so I started doing the IE ones also cause I like the timed labs vs do them yourself at home one’s , but didn’t get the details so wasn’t 100% sure on why I got something wrong .. So now I have to spend a few days reasearching and making best guesses as to why the mechanics are wrong so I don’t do that again…
