Hello, dear all !
I am preparing CCIE lab exam now, Has anybody prepare it too ?
My job is test some high end core router, so I know a little Frame Relay and
ISDN.
who can tell me how to prepare Frame relay and isdn ?

According to the lab objectives, knowing only "a little Frame Relay and
ISDN" will get you killed. These are high-value test areas that will
splatter you on a wall if you do not know it thoroughly. You actually don't
even need a high-end router (were you thinking about a 12000???). You do
need routers with more than two interfaces in order to simulate frame relay
switches. I heard of some guys who got their hands on ISDN switches
(expensive, but nice if you have one) from Alteon (sp?). Do your research,
come up with specific gears you want to get, and we can tell you if that's
sufficient.

thx for you reply so much!!!
My job is test Fujitsu GeoStream R900 core router, and it have
100M FastEthernet ,GigabitEhter, 10G Ether
OC3,OC12 OC48 POS ,
OC3,OC12 ATM,
but have not Frame Rely and ISDN interface

So, I think I need prepare more about Frame Rely and ISDN.

Keep in mind that the CCIE stands for "Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert".
It does not say Fujitsu. It's nice to have general understanding of WAN
concepts and equipments if you are playing with Fujitsu, but if you don't
play with Cisco gears you are just wasting your time and money with the
CCIE.

Get Cisco equipments and then come back here.

I disagree. OSPF concepts and BGP concepts are the same (minus Cisco
specific extensions). So one can get quite a bit of knowledge that can
be quickly transferred. The gimmicky questions on the lab can be
tackled separately from fundamental questions.

But I will agree that hands-on time on Cisco gear is HIGHLY recommended.

True. But I would say that there's no point even attempting the lab
unless you have a good command of Frame Relay, for instance. It
sounded like the original poster didn't have much experience with
either FR or ISDN, both of which are important subjects for the R&S
lab.
