Congratulations for your CCIE ¡!! Looking forward for your job related comments (how much more valued you feel now that you count with it, your LinkedIn offers from which companies, If they offer you jobs and positions that make sense for a CCIE, your experience now as a CCIE and how different it is compared to your previous CCNA-CCNP jobs, how you feel about the CCIE in the near future with the new automation technologies, etc ) Amazing Jeremiah, thank you for the recommendations ¡!!
Congratulations Jeremiah! As someone who is considering the CCIE, your videos are a massive help, so thank you! I do however, have some questions. 1) Could you possibly make a video on how you studied for it? As in, how did you make notes, how did you tackle the exam topics etc? How did you know when to move onto the next topic etc? A major issue I have, is knowing when to move on. When I’ve studied for my CCNP, I feel like I’m writing my own book as I take so many notes, most of which I can’t remember. So I’m curious as to how you approached it. 2) How proficient does one need to be in Python? Most of my programming experience was at university, and that was 10 years ago. As with question 1, I’m not sure how far I need to go with it. I’m sure I’ll think of something else, but these two things are my biggest concerns at the moment. Thank you, and congratulations again!
I address your questions in the video I put out yesterday th-cam.com/video/tIspZ6r16jY/w-d-xo.html And in case I wasn't clear in the video, my initial rant is not related to you or your questions.
Thank you for the awesome video! This is exactly what I was looking for. I noticed you didn't mention the ENCOR OCG or the ENARSI study guide. I'm curious if you have taken a look at either of these and think they might be viable replacement study resources for the CCIE R&S v1 and v2 and maybe even the Routing TCP/IP books? Thanks again!
No. Not even remotely. One of the big things people struggle with is understanding the step from CCNP to CCIE. I studied for ENCOR and ENARSI for a few weeks each, say 4 weeks each. I studied for the CCIE for roughly 18 months.
Great video - one correction, you dont need to buy a new copy of narbiks book tp register it as you as it only asks you for the ISBN of the book and then some lines within it, which are not unique. But make sure to get the v1.1 version which is out now!
Are you suggesting that one just find the info online and get access to the workbook without actually buying the book? I hope not. It is such an amazing value. Why would you steal from Narbik? Hopefully I'm just misunderstanding.
@@jeremiahwolfe no, not at all, the way you stated it is that you had to buy a new copy, but you could buy a used one too. I registered my own used copy in that way. Every little helps in this incredibly expensive endeavor..
I'm sure BGP is much more in-depth on the Service Provider exam. For the EI exam the books I mentioned pretty much covered it. That said Narbiks's BGP labs are really good.
@@jeremiahwolfe I believe CCIE would require more hours doing labs. I wanted to know how you practice labs - bought hardware or use online resources? Thanks again for sharing 😊
@@sundeshsunassee2778 I've answered those questions in my various videos, but I'll try to summarize quickly. Lab equipment: -Refurbished Dell server 96 cores, 128 GB RAM. For EVE-NG -Kbits SD-A rack for SD-A. Labs: -Kbits CCIE course lab book. ~650 pages. Did most labs twice. -Narbik CCIE course lab book. ~4000 pages. Did most labs twice, some labs 3+ times. -Personal labs. When I had a concept I wasn't understanding I would build my own lab in EVE-NG and test it. -Post exam fail labs. After failing the exam I mocked up several of the tasks from the lab (as best as I could remember/replicate) and practiced them.
Hi Jeremiah, great video and congrats on passing the CCIE exam! I do have one question. I did purchase Narbik's Foundation book and downloaded the EVE-NG labs, although they won't boot up. This is most likely because the Cisco images I have are not the ones Narbik is using. Do you know what image codes I need to look for in order to use the lab?
@@RoseBrosYT I'm using pro, though it's not necessary. There are lots of nice features with the pro version. I don't know if there are issues when importing lab topologies if they were created on a version different than what you're using.
Hey Jeremiah. You previously posted a video talking about a book with all eve ng labs already built. I can't find that video anymore. What book was that?
Hello Jeremiah, thank you for accepting my LinkedIn invite - been following you for 3 years now since you made the decision to pursue your CCIE and started with CCNA. congrats on passing your CCIE. My question is I know you prefer physical books but if the book has labs/practical's, how to lab from the book, do you have to look down as opposed to look at a soft copy on a second monitor should makes it easier to follow the labs/practical/examples from the study guide?
Of the books I listed in this video ONLY the last one (CCIE EI Foundation) has step by step labs that you would need to follow along with. That book you SHOULD NOT read. What you SHOULD read is the pdf lab guide that you get access to AFTER registering the book. So for that book (which is a lab book) you will ultimately get a pdf lab guide. And at the end of the day read however you like. If you have no problem reading eBooks... then get the eBook. In fact, as GUIs become more and more a part of Network Engineering print books are becoming inadequate. One needs to see the color images to fully grasp the GUI and that's lost with the print books.
Hello Jeremiah, I'm interested in finding out what kind of job you at right now or going to be in, knowing all the cert and qualification you have, what kind of salary you can safely expect?
I don't feel comfortable talking about my own salary. So search job posting for CCIE or Senior Network Engineer. That should give you a rough idea. I will say that I first hit $100K in 2010 as a CCNP/CCSP. A lot has happened since then, but again that should give you a rough idea.
@jeremiahwolfe 100k in 2010! Big respect, won't be a surprised if you hit 250+, best of luck to you and your family and thank you for the great content sir.
No. I started doing that, but my final assessment is that it's a waste of time. SD-WAN is probably worth having, just because it will stand out, even with your CCIE on your resume.
Thanks for this information about your CCIE journey. I'm interested in that you also did the CCNP SDWAN specialization. Did this help you in the CCIE ?. Do you recommend doing it to gain necessary skills needed for the CCIE ?
The SD-WAN which was on the CCIE exam was, in all honesty, pretty basic. But, I think that is the case because this was version 1.0 of the CCIE with SD-WAN. SDx will be playing a bigger and bigger role in the CCIE exam as time goes on. So for the current 1.0, no the SD-WAN specialty was not particularly helpful. But it's still probably worth pursuing.
hay que estar enfermo para hacerse esa certificacion cuesta un paston y pierdes tiempo ya que cada pocos años hay que renovar, que asco le tengo a esta parte de IT
Great video! A few years ago I bought most of these books hoping to slowly get into studying for the CCIE. Good to hear these are still useful.
Wow that’s some serious reading even if you didn’t need to read every book front to back. Thanks for sharing
Congratulations for your CCIE ¡!!

Great video. I was expecting a specific book on BGP. I guess BGP was well covered in Narbik's Book and course.
I'm sure BGP is much more in-depth on the Service Provider exam. For the EI exam the books I mentioned pretty much covered it. That said Narbiks's BGP labs are really good.
Thanks so much for sharing all these resources!! 🎉🎉
Great video. Thanks for sharing🤝🤝🤝🤝
Congrats on achieving CCIE
Would love if you could share how you practice the labs?
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?
@@jeremiahwolfe I believe CCIE would require more hours doing labs. I wanted to know how you practice labs - bought hardware or use online resources? Thanks again for sharing 😊
@@sundeshsunassee2778 I've answered those questions in my various videos, but I'll try to summarize quickly.
Lab equipment:
-Refurbished Dell server 96 cores, 128 GB RAM. For EVE-NG
-Kbits SD-A rack for SD-A.
Labs:
-Kbits CCIE course lab book. ~650 pages. Did most labs twice.
-Narbik CCIE course lab book. ~4000 pages. Did most labs twice, some labs 3+ times.
-Personal labs. When I had a concept I wasn't understanding I would build my own lab in EVE-NG and test it.

thanks for sharing!
One question... does the ebook version of the CCIE EI Foundation comes with the files you mentioned? thank you again🙏🏻
Yes, at least it does if you purchase directly through Cisco Press. I can't say for certain if that's true via other providers.
@@jeremiahwolfe thank you so much🙏🏻
Hi Jeremiah, great video and congrats on passing the CCIE exam! I do have one question. I did purchase Narbik's Foundation book and downloaded the EVE-NG labs, although they won't boot up. This is most likely because the Cisco images I have are not the ones Narbik is using. Do you know what image codes I need to look for in order to use the lab?
Just set each device to use the image you have. Narbik's configs are basic enough that they shouldn't rely on a specific image.
Thanks for your response. Another question - Are you using the Community or PRO version of EVE-NG?
@@jeremiahwolfe
@@RoseBrosYT I'm using pro, though it's not necessary. There are lots of nice features with the pro version. I don't know if there are issues when importing lab topologies if they were created on a version different than what you're using.
Congrats on your CCIE, one question I have is that ,what resources have you used for QOS and MPLS portion of the exam ?
Narbik's course.
Thank you for delivering 🙂
Hey Jeremiah. You previously posted a video talking about a book with all eve ng labs already built. I can't find that video anymore. What book was that?

would you recommend getting all CCNP Enterprise certs before going to the CCIE?
No. I started doing that, but my final assessment is that it's a waste of time.
SD-WAN is probably worth having, just because it will stand out, even with your CCIE on your resume.
@@jeremiahwolfe thanks for the answee I have ben following you for some time, I am very happy your CCIE now! I

That fuck you question in the exam might be to catch cheaters. Not sure
not sure why but I prefer video first before going to books, so that i can have at least high level of what technology I'm reading
