This is my first attempt at blogging. The goal is to document my CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure journey, including detailed labs and configs and whatever else comes up. There are a couple reasons I decided to document my studies as a blog:
- I’m hoping that this may help others who are also on the journey. It seems that there are not a ton of resources out there for the CCIE Ent. Inf. exam, probably because it’s still relatively new (as of June, 2021).
- I may end up with some one-off lab examples that are useful to people who don’t care about CCIE exams at all.
- Most importantly, I figure this is a good way of holding myself accountable and staying on task.
First thing’s first, I’ll be working through this blueprint, but probably not in order:

Also, here’s the main page for the exam information:

One more thing to note, this will be mostly lab exam content. There probably won’t be a ton of useful information for the written exam. One bit of advice, if you’re studying for the written, just study for the written. Unplug your lab and pick up some books. Don’t try to lab and study for the written at the same time. I tried that method with the CCIE Security and it was a colossal failure. I figured, “Hey, if I’m an ace at the practical configuration of these technologies, then the written should be a breeze!” I was very wrong. After my first humiliating defeat by the Security written, I completely changed my approach. I unplugged my lab and just spent months reading books and white papers.
