Super Spanning-Tree

Revisiting spanning-tree stuff today.  Watching a couple CoD's and reading the appropriate chapters in the CCIE R/S cert guide. 

CCIE R/S Work

Well I have begun!  Started watching my Advanced Technologies classes from INE, and reading the corresponding chapters in the CCIE R/S Certification Guide, 4th edition.  I am taking detailed notes this time around, trying to create one massive document for all of my CCIE study notes.  My current plan is to cruise through layer two over the next couple of weeks using the videos, cert guide, BCMSN guide, and LAN Switching book.   After that, I will hash out where to go next....Covered DTP, VTP, trunking, basic ethernet, SPAN's, VLAN's, private vlans (briefly), and some others today.  Review mainly, but amazing some of the minute details you forget along the way.

Passed CCIP!

Well I passed my final CCIP exam yesterday (BGP + MPLS) with an 892.  Happy about that as it begins me down the road to the CCIE.  I really used this test as prep work towards the CCIE anyways, mainly because with BGP already being a big topic, and MPLS being added, I had hoped that this would give me a leg up as it would dive me a little bit deeper into the technologies than I otherwise would have gone.  This was the funnest test to date, and I really enjoyed the certification as a whole.  I liked the specialized training on the certain protocols, and have really embraced MPLS and BGP as my new fav's :).  Well I am off to develop a training plan, hope you all follow along!
