If possible, try to do at least 1 day of the CCIE practice labs located
on the CCIE page. They are a valuable source of scenarios and they are
set up to mimic VERY closely the actual lab (racks, routes etc.) They
cost $250.00 per day some even give discounts or even a free day if you
register for more than a certain number of days. For folks thinking f
CCIE bootcamps, ECP etc they may want to try this instead. These
practice labs are for people who are very confortable configuring.
There are no lectures, you are on your own. The lab tech may help with
questions if you have problems with equipment not working etc.
