I was able to go through this in our local Cisco office and it was GREAT.
The problem with ASET though is getting a hold of the lab equipment itself.
They have a set of gear that travels around the country and takes some time
to actually get a hold of. Once our local rep had it though I was able to
get in very quickly. It took 2 days to go through it and required a very
high level of expertise to complete all the objectives. DEFINATELY worth
the time if you can get it arranged. I'll see shortly how close the ASET
lab is to the real lab.

Gets even better, I rang up Cisco and asked if I could borrow some
routers
to practise on for my CCIE lab and they shipped me 3 routers interstate
on
loan for a month. Enterprise IOS, serial cables, etc (although one was
an
old AGS which wasn't very usefull and made a hullva racket). Very handy.
Paid all the shipping & all - I didn't pay a cent.
And while they may have chosen to be nice to my employer (CSIRO),
I didn't ask CSIRO to intervene or make special arrangements or
anything.
I did all the negiotiations myself (I *did* say please).
It was obvious the loan gear was just what was on hand and they were
feeling generous. I think its up to individual Cisco regions &
availability.
I did get the impression Cisco employees were almost last on the list
for
loan of gear, but they also let me in to their Melbourne training lab
for a
day which was a very nice setup and obviously dedicated to training
CCIEs in-house.
Someone who has booked their lab, and is in real trouble getting access
to gear might do well to add asking Cisco to their list of desperation
measures. I *was* in trouble for getting enough lab access and tried
many alternatives. Just regard getting lab access as one of those
problems CCIEs are meant to solve....
