not the labs themselves, but the study prep booklet for which NLI charges 150 bucks.
these are preliminary impressions, based upon referring to the guide while working on various study scenarios of my own. so far, the guide strikes me as somewhat shallow. very little detail. a couple of superficial tips. I have not looked at the ATM or the OSPF sections yet. These cover quite a few pages, and may offer more detail. there are two sections - one for note, the other containing configuration examples. both sections suffer from the same shortcoming. in particular: NTP - virtually nothing in the way of detail or explanation. nothing regarding authentication, for example. no detail on the difference between NTP peers and NTP client / servers, and more importantly, why you would use one or the other. Filtering - nothing direct. have to find information indirectly, under things like route-maps and prefix lists. distribute-lists are not covered at all. route-maps - again, pretty basic redistribution - this is a major Cisco core topic, yet this guide offers very few real tips. tunnels - very rudimentary. Otherwise, in general, I have not found much in the way of clarification of complex points. My impression is that a lot of these notes are *'s that the author wrote in his personal study book as he was going along. I am doing something similar as I go through things. in reviewing, I find that my own written word does not cover anywhere near what I have discovered as I work. I tend to * the gotcha's, which in turn trigger associations with the things I have learned. I suspect this guide is more a compilation of these kind of sentences. When I get into DLSw, SRTB, multicasting, and traffic shaping, I'll check how this guide stacks up.
