I bought the ccbootcamp labs a couple of weeks ago. I DO NOT recommend them
at all.
First of all they require to much equipment (7 to 10 routers plus ISDN, ATM,
ect, ect..) If you want to look at sample config's cisco has a bunch and
they are all free!!!!
Second thing is once you buy them your pretty much on your own. They say
they will answer up to 3 e-mail questions (gee thanks). I asked two
questions and only got one answer after sending 4 or 5 e-mail's over a 10
day period. It sure is funny that they have time to promote thier labs via
this studygroup but when you ask a question they are no where to be found.
It looks like LANE, ISIS, LAT and DECnet have been removed from the lab.
Half of the labs only cover these technologies...
