I have this book and feel that is definitely worth the price. However, be
aware that some of the scenarios require several routers (7-8 including the
frame switch). And some of the routers used in the scenarios are of an odd
configuration (at least in my opinion). For example, the BGP scenario
requires a frame-switch AND an additional router with 4 serial interfaces.
I was able to make it work because I had access to an 8-port frame switch.
However, I thought this was one of the better, if not the best BGP scenario
that I have built. Also, the DLSW scenario wants a router with 2 serial,
two ethernets and one ISDN and another router with two ethernets and a
serial. I don't have two routers with two ethernet ports in my home lab and
I especially don't have one with two ethernets and a BRI. Maybe my home lab
is just lacking......
I really like how they number the questions (tasks) so that if you get
stuck you can find that specific answer quickly and without having to read
the entire solution. It has "Tearsheets" in the back that are perforated so
that you can tear out just the questions to refer to as you build the
scenario. I chose not to tear them out, but rather photocopied them.
