This kit is based on the topology of the training materials provided by Internetwork Expert, Inc. It makes use of the specifications as provided by Internetwork Expert to provide a cost effective alternative to the full blown CCIE Lab Rack topology used by Internetwork Expert, for the serious student with a limited budget. All of the routers in this kit use the Cisco 12.3 IOS and/or 12.4 IOS. This kit will allow the student to do almost all of the lab exercises in any of the Internetwork Expert CCIE study materials. The few lab exercises that can't be done with this kit since it is missing the 3560s and 3825 can be done on Internetwork Expert remote racks as needed at a minimal cost.
One of the main advantages of using the Internetwork Expert product line of CCIE preparation products is that the physical lab topology for all of the products is the same. This means that no matter which Routing & Switching product you are using you will not need additional devices in your rack, and furthermore you won't even need to change the cabling once your rack is set up, ever!
Finally an added bonus is this same lab setup maps very closely to our CCNP topology and labs. This will help you get the most value for your money. Keep in mind, we can always customize any lab to meet your needs. Below you will find the contents of this lab:
