Re: Cisco Interactive Mentor [7:30344]
I have used the CIM, and it seems to work ok as a study tool, and a little in the workplace. They are somewhat expensive-in that I feel that you should get more content with them.

Re: Cisco Interactive Mentor [7:30344]
I received a comp. copy from Pearson (Cisco Press) to review. I havent typed up a formal review (like the one I just completed for CCIE Practical Studies Volume 1 by Karl Solie), but I have played with it a little. Biggest problem I found with the CIM is that it only takes the commands that it uses for the labs it is simulating. Basically, if you hit '?' you'll see a very shortened list of commands (the commands that are applicable to the lab vs. the entire list). It makes it too easy to figure out what you need to use. It's okay for the price, but if you can afford real routers or rack time, I'd go that route instead. thanks, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 (RS / Security) Network Learning Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] used Cisco gear: www.optsys.net CCIE Labs, racks, and classes: http://www.ccbootcamp.com/quicklinks.html motor_5 wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

RE: Cisco Interactive Mentor [7:30344]
I think you can use it do stuff like VOIP(use the CIM for VOIP), which eventhough has been rated as BASIC, would cover pretty much most of the stuff that we can expect to see in the labs. Of course, as mentioned elsewhere, Voice (VoFR, VoATM, VoIP etc) is an evolving topic, and the weightage will indeed increase with time. The other ones(IP ROUTING etc.), from what I have heard, cover pretty much basic CCNP stuff (even less).

Okay, I searched the archives and it answered my questions.

Re: Cisco Interactive Mentor [7:30344]
I tried the online ones that are free from Cisco and they're pretty good for the basic and intermediate stuff. There are only a few that are free though and you need to have avalid login.

RE: Cisco Interactive Mentor [7:30344]
Junovtv- I invested in the CIM (all 6-7 modules), and have used the LAN Switching CIM out of it all while I was preparing for the Switching exam. It works great, except one draw back. It doesn't cover MLS. It goes over everything else that are lined up as the objectives for the exam, with the exception of MLS. I also went thru the Access ISDN module, and that was a nice refresher for ISDN, but wished it had of done config scenarios related to FR and DDR Backup. In fact, if I remember, it really didn't go over DDR Backup scenarios at all in LAB sim. It just covered it in lecture. For the rest of them, I've not used any of them, but I bet they are just as useful. I hear that the Basic VoIP module is lame in comparison to what Global Knowledge teaches, but I'll have to go through it and verify that opinion for myself. I've attended the VoIP/FR/ATM course that GK teaches, and it was pretty well rounded... just didn't get to experience the Call Manager system with the VoX pods. :( HTH, Mark Odette II ccna, 3/4 ccnp, mcse 2k/4.0, a+ certified. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 12:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cisco Interactive Mentor [7:30344] Has anyone ever used CIM?
