You need a lab more than anything else to get through CCIE.
I would like to here from anyone who has passed this exam without lots and lots
 andlots of lab time.
I dont think it is at all possible without a lab.

Subject: ECP1 vs book " BRS by Caslow"

Hello all..

I need advise from fellow list members regd the famous ECP1 course vs the
book "Bridges Routers and Switches" by Caslow. They seem to have same
course content. I have gone through that book 2-3 times and understand it
reasonably well (except for Non-IP protocols). Is it still worth attending
ECP1 course?? It is $3600, which is quite expensive for me. Also, do they
cover topics like VOIP, VPN and multicast etc which are part of lab exam
but not covered in book??

Another suggestion which I got was, that instead of spending $3600, it is
better to buy 3 Routers and build my own lab (which I don't have right now)
and practice on them since I have alreday gone through the book.

What is your suggestion ???.

Thanks
Devin
