The ASET lab is great. I took it two weeks before my real test and it
helped a lot. The two guys that teach it out of San jose are terrific !!
The lab is very comprehensive but not as deep as the CCIE lab.
Things I would do before taking the lab to get the most out of it are:
Do a multi-protocol lab such as ANEW 1 or something simular. Understand all
the issues of getting all the different routing protocols for IP, IPX, and
Appletalk to work together. Do the lab several times to get your speed up.
Do some DLSW labs. There is a fair amount on ASET.
Read up on the 3900 series switch and how to do some simple configurations
on it.
Know your basic ATM configurations
Know your BGP configurations. Nothing real fancy on ASET, just basic stuff.
Know where on the Doc CD to find regular expressions if you don't have them
memorized.
There was no voice on the ASET lab I took. But Jay and Jose said there were
going to add it soon.
The ASET is three days. The first two days is doing the lab. At the end of
day two, the guy who finnished the most has the honor of getting his
configs picked apart by Jay. He shows everybody where he thinks you would
lose points and where you answered correctly. On the third day everybody
gets to do some online labs from Mentor technologies. Those were a lot of
fun. You have a set amount of time to configure three or more routers for
different things. They are kind of like speed tests. I had never done any
of Mentor tech's labs before and I was impressed. I'm glad Cisco paid for
it though, they are a little pricey.
At the end of day three everybody got a couple of free cisco press books, a
free sylvan test voucher, and credits for more free mentor tech labs. They
even took us out to lunch at Cisco's expense !!
You can take the lab as many times as you want as long as there is room. I
was going to take it once a month after my first attempt untill my second
attempt. But ended up not needing to. Maybe you could get a sooner class
and then sign up for it again just before your real lab.
Hope this helps
