How to study for the CCIE exan

"How" is normally follow after "What". After we figure out what we want to achieve and defined the "GOAL", next step would be looking at the options on "HOW".

Because the CCIE exam cover a myriad technology, so it is time consuming to study for it without a proper strategy. I haven't taken the exam before but after reading tons of war stories, I have choose the following :

1. INE as the training vendor
2. Build a hybrid CCIE rack with GNS3
3. Install and configure GNS3 for "LABBING-ON-THE-GO"

The plan is to stick to a workbook and strategically go through all the technology. Although I'll be building a hybrib lab, because lighting and electrical bill I won't be making it remotely accessible. There is where the "LABBING-ON-THE-GO" comes in, practice most of the routing topic while at office.

Now with the exercise guide (INE workbook), threadmill (Hybrid Lab) ... what left is only determination and persistence to stick the to plan.
