By Monday, not only will these switches be in the CCIE Lab, but test takers will be responsible for all L2 and L3 functionality, including things like VLAN tunneling, BGP, and a wealth of other things. This otter be fun!
1) Configuration guides and command references on CCO http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/12111ea1/index.htm watch the wrap 2) NLI ( www.ccbootcamp.com ) I spoke to Mark Russell. Somewhere on the site there is a free white paper covering 3550 basics. To judge from the web site, it appears that 4 of the 5 rental racks have 3550's in them. Mark also said that his package of updated and new scenarios is due "real soon now" I'd like to say in a couple of weeks, but I don't remember if that's exactly what Mark said. 3) IPExpert ( www.ipexpert.net ) has a new study guide out, which includes scenarios with the 3550. The web site says that there are 3550's in the rental racks. ( The diagram needs to be updated. ) 4) Hello Computers ( www.hellocomputers.com ) has rental racks that include 3550's. They also sell a Lab study book with 24 scenarios and an optional rack access purchase, including consulting with a CCIE 5) There are any number of e - bay auctions of rack rentals. rack rental seems to be a going concern these days. 6) Certification Zone ( www.certificationzone.com ) has announced the release of my white paper on the 3550. For a limited time, non subscribers may download the two 3550 Lab scenarios with sample configurations that I wrote as part of this white paper free of charge. Subscribers get the white paper, the Q&A, and the labs. ( disclaimer - I was paid to write the Cert Zone material, so I have a vested interest in its success ) Hope this helps.
