New Update for Command Memorizer
Recently got an update for Command Memorizer. Man i am loving this product. The new updates contain shortcuts to DOC CD which i think are very good. Then they have added Forums section in it, plus they have another section called CCIE Quickfire which quick fire questions about few sections. My overall experience with the product has been great and i would like to say BIG THANKS to David Bombal and Richard Bannister for such a great contribution. Well Done guys !!!!Keep it up....

CCIE Command Memorizer.
First look at CCIE Command Memorizer.
Bought CCIE Command Memorizer today. My first impression of the product is very good. I already have IPEXPERT BLS as i mentioned in my previous post but this tool gives me different perspective that way i can learn. Even though i have to type the commands in full but i dont mind doing that. The whole thing is divided in parts. They cover most of the topics mentioned in the CCIE (R & S) blueprint. You cant type " ? " for help, which means that you need to know the command before you type it. I think this is a good feature but everyone has a different view on things. The reason why i think it is great is that instead of typing ? all the times and drill down until i find the right command with COMMAND MEMORIZER i need to actually know what i am typing which means i can save a lot of time during my lab exam as i know the commands by heart. Another benefit of not having help when attempting any scenario is that it will change my habit of typing ? everytime and instead go to the CISCO DOC CD to find the answer which means i am improving my navigation skills for the CISCO DOC which can be very handy when i am doing my lab. But again everyone has a different view.
You can do the scenarios as many times you want. Once you are finished you can reset the whole page and do all over again. You dont even need internet connection, once you have activated the product you are good to go and you can use the product anywhere you want.
I tried the switching section and they have really good scenarios to work on. They start from basic and then complex scenarios.
Will update more once i have tried it a bit more.

Display configuration sections while configuring the router
Was going through my Google reader the other day and found this very interesting article on NIL wiki page. Its about how to display the configuration of currently selected interface or routing protocol without using any parameters.
I know what you must be thinking now that you can do that with do show running interface name but with this EEM TCL policies you can achieve it without parameters that would display the configuration of the currently selected interface..
For more on this visit the NIL WIKI PAGE.

How Cisco Grade short answer section
Was reading the cisco forum " Certifications: CCIE Open Ended Questions" on how cisco are grading the open ended questions and here is what i found:
Hello XXXX,
I work on the CCIE team. The short answer section is graded on an "all or nothing" basis. If you answer the minimum number correct you will get 100%. If you don't achieve the minimum, your score shows as 0%. It is indeed possible that you answered two questions correctly.

Dont you think it is bit unfair. What i think that you should be awarded marks on each right answer you give on the open ended questions. Feel free to comment.

CCIE Written Exam
Sorry for not been able to update my blog for some time. Had been busy studying for my Written Exam. Passed the CCIE written exam today. Got 87 and i think it is a good result. I sucked big time on QOS getting only 33 % only. QOS always has been my weak point and it has been proved as well. Now i know where to put some more efforts on. Planning to schedule my lab around MAY. I know i still need to put a lot of hardwork. Will talk to Narbik about renting one of his racks and take it for one month or preferabbly two months if he gives me a better deal on rack rental. Otherwise will rent Narbik's rack rental for one month and rent some rack time from IPEXPERT as i had bought BLS from them. So i can do some of their labs as well. Will try to update the blog with my daily study schedule. Thanks again to Dave and Rick who kept me motivated during my CCIE written learning process.
