Let me assure you all that any lab scenarios we have, did not come from any
Cisco training professionals. But rather from the vast area of books that
teach the subjects. It was not a big deal to take a little from one book,
add this technology and topology from another, to create our own for the
sole purpose of testing our little group going for certification. We
created our own labs inspired from many different sources (including actual
mulitprotocol, global networks). And we have no problem giving them away.
Likewise, we have no moral complications accepting any lab scenarios from
others (and incorporating what we liked and what we didn't like), regardless
of where they came from (we don't ask anyway). In fact, we don't even
provide any diagrams. We just give them the typed out scenario and make
them create their own Visio documents to support it (like the real world).
It drives the knowledge home a lot better that way.
We haven't broken any copyright laws and we're not making any money. It's
just a homegrown effort to help each other... and it is at each person's
digression whether they want that help.
As always, do what works for you.

You may have no problem with distributing them, but I am sure Marc and the
court system would feel differently about it. Marc and company have spent a
considerable amount of time and research on developing fantastic labs. You
do not have the right to distribute something that you do not own (when you
purchase his labs you are simply licensed to use them. You do not own the
intellectual material). This group is not a place for that sort of activity.
I appreciate the fact that it can be expensive to pursue CCIE, but that is
also part of it's value.
Just my 2 cents

The lab scenario themselves are not what keeps CCIE bootcamps in business.
The big money involves time on very expensive equipment.
I have no problems accepting or distributing lab scenarios. If people have
their own equipment then they don't need the service of any practice or
virtual labs.

I found the CCIE bootcamp labs very good and certainly good for studying for
the
CCIE. I would however strong recommend that parts of these labs are not
distributed in this group. They are not cheap I agree but that doesn't mean
that
we should freely distribute. I think they are worth the investment.
