Finally, I passed CCIE R&S written exam.
It is the time to start preparing for CCIE Lab.
As you probably aware, Cisco is doing huge change for examination after 23 Feb 2020.
So, I have to stat preparation for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure instead of CCIE R&S.
You can find the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Equipment and Software List using link below:

This page will be focused on the equipment and software arrangement as close to the exam as possible to practice and better understanding.
