ah, the perfect opportunity to throw in my own few bucks worth. no offense to any of the producers of CCIE practice labs. The vendors with whom I am familiar have all done an excellent job in mimicking the Real Thing. IP Expert, Hello Computers, Bootcamp are all first rate products. However, buyers should be aware that each of these vendors have crafted their labs around an equipment rack which they maintain, and hope to make money renting to you. The real lab has a few routers and a couple of switches. Not the dozen or so that these vendors require for their labs. OK. I exaggerate a bit. But not much. I believe I am accurate when I state that it can be difficult to simulate these vendor pods with your home rack. Nor do I think you need to, but that's another story. Buyers and sekkers of practice materials should also do a google search on "CCIE practice labs" and see what you can find. There are LOTS of materials out there. My own opinion, to be taken with the appropriate measure of salt: with all due respect to the vendors of practice labs, it really doesn't make much difference whose you use. They all sport lists of successful candidates who used their materials and offer testamonials. Obviously, all of the vendors are doing something right. There are people who use their materials and succeed. The real key is practice, practice, practice, and then read up on why the answer is what it is, then practice some more. It is incredibly important to understand alternatives. And how to attain reachability. And how to research something you've never heard of on the doc CD, and what to do when your routing table is a disaster, and when you see route flapping, and default routes pointing to the wrong router, or your routing protocol does not communicate with another router the way that it should. Oh - BTW - never underestimate the value of the free stuff on CCO. The config guides, the design guides, the stuff in the TAC section, if you have access to that. Or www.fatkid.com, for that matter. Best wishes. Chuck still stuck at 21,000 feet or so.
