Faz,
The cciebootcamp.com labs are pretty good. I purchased them a couple of
weeks ago to use on my own equipment.
The vpn stuff I have heard about is the ipsec stuff. I believe there is an
example int the sample config section of the web-site and cdrom.
There are a couple of good ccie prep classes. I recently took one at
arslimited in Virginia. it was excellent, full of tricks, traps, and chock
full of labs. We spent about 60 hours on a rack of routers during the
course of the week + remote acces for the following week. the web site is
http://www.ciscotraining.com
There is also a class given by Chesapeake (www.ccci.com) whichh is given
by Bruce Caslow, author of bridges routers and switches for CCIE's. These
courses are pricey, ($3500.00) but definately worth it.
Pretty much anything is fair game for the test. My advice is to
concentrate on the core IP, Frame, isdn, bgp ospf, AT. Know the concepts
of the more obscure topics though. During the lab you don't have time to
learn a concept, only to look up some commands.
The class was very useful for strategizing for the address planning.
The instructor suggested giving a block of 16 class C's to each router,
making sure the boundries fall where you will be able to summarize on bit
boundries. READ THE QUESTION before doing anything!!!! Don't start
assigning the addresses until you have read the question in its entirety.
The question later on might give you some hints as to what addresses need to
go where.
I used to work for Sita Airport Services. Where do you work out of?
