Hi,
I don't know about the lab but I came here to pick up snippets where I can.
I feel understanding configs and various methods are fine but what I do pick
up is that the Cisco method is the accepted method. ie If it comes out of
the CCO or CD then really learn this even though you might not use it in
real life.
I find some of the technical questions interesting and some of the answers
even more interesting. Lately I have not had the time to put in but who
cares (only me).
I work in an area where my clients have all sorts of routers and/or
connection methods, we use Cisco. Understanding Cisco is not enough
understanding how things hang together (RFC's, TCP/IP, Ethernet, basic
switching, ATM, Frame Relay, ISDN, Microsoft RAS etc.) this to me seems the
guts of networking. OSPF, BGP, TCP/IP and the RFC's are not specific to one
company so I guess I feel understanding these are important to enhance
networking skills.
