RE: Workbook homelab ? [7:65161]
Hi, I have not passed the Lab yet. My date is in June. Below is a home lab that I have assembled. It all depends on how much you can afford to spend. With this equipment I can do the CCbootcamp, IPexpert, Hello and Routopia labs at home. The only thing is that for ATM I will have to rent rack time. I have all four workbooks. When I bought the IPexpert workbook they provided four free 6.5 hour sessions of rack time. I've went through each workbook and website to obtain the rack specifications. Then I drew a diagram for each workbook and with the equipment I have I can cable up my rack once at the start of each workbook and perform all the required labs. With the exception of the 2-2501's and the 2924 switch which I borrowed from a friend, every other item listed was bought off Ebay. Routers,switches,modules,ISDN, cables etc. You have to be dilligent and shop for the best price. I never had a single problem with the Ebay auctions. All equipment arrived in a 100% working condition. Total spent on Ebay was close to 7 grand. Excellent price for all this equipment. Again, I am fortunate to be able to afford this, barely. My credit cards are maxed out and for my last purchase (the 2 3550 switches)I had to take a loan out. Best of luck.

This is one of my gripes about the various places that sell study materials. The practice labs are written to reflect racks which you rent from them. There is only so much you can do to adapt. > I myself possess 6 routers but they are only sufficient to do the Solie's > labs, not more. Is it breaking NDA to state that the CCIE lab contains a certain number of routers? More than? Fewer than? More than two and fewer than 50? ;-> The other thing - if you do a google search on - CCIE rack rental ( words, not phrase ) you will find a LOT of places that offer rack rental and practice labs. We all know the big three, but there are many other sources, and I'm sure that many of their packages use fewer than the dozen plus that some places require for their labs. > Thanks for any comment on this.

Re: Workbook homelab ? [7:65161]
Also Keep in mind that many of the companies selling the major labs have only a few tasks to be configured on some of the perimeter routers(in my experience), they really just want you to rent rack time from them at outrageous prices. The labs can be modified to give you the same learning experience although it requires a great deal of time and effort!

Re: Workbook homelab ? [7:65161]
In that case, I would recommend CCOnlinelabs.com.You have over 12 routers to play with and 2 switches along with isdn and atmYou can configure these routers to simulate any of those major labs or your own...Best of all, is the price, $30.00 for 5.5 hours which is imho, what your target should be to complete one full lab!! (so that in the actual exam, you have over 2 hours to review all your silly mistakes :-> And to add that Tony is of great help if you run into any problems. He himself is a CCIE.

RE: Workbook homelab ? [7:65161]
There are other labs even cheaper ($20 for 4 hours) with 13 routers, switches, ATM, ISDN, Voice, etc. May want to consider them as well. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cisco Nuts Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 7:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Workbook homelab ?
