Karl,
Think of the 3550s as couple of multiport ethernet routers. I don't
think the new lab will have any new technology, just maybe more emphasis on
things that were touched on only lightly in the past. The 3550s have lots
of QOS functionality, so know it, at layer 2 and 3. So take your existing
NLI labs, and replace a router at one place with a 3550, and add a couple
redundant ethernet links. Add a trunk here, and a channel there, and you
should have a good grasp on what to expect. That being said, check out:
http://www.netmasterclass.net/site/lib.php for some free 3550 info and a
lab. Good luck.

>I have been somewhat frustrated trying to obtain practice labs for the new
exam. I am already a subscriber to NLIs labs, so I am reluctant to spend
money on another set. NLI has been extremely non-committal when asked when
they will have their new version available. My problem is that I am
scheduled to take the exam in a few weeks, and I have rental time scheduled
between now and then with nothing to practice. I am also unemployed and
need to be very careful how I spend my money right now.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I could get my hands on a practice lab
to get me by until the NLI labs are available? I am a firm believer in
protecting intellectual property rights, so I don't want to violate
copyrights. I have written a practice lab of my own built around two 3550s
that I would be willing to trade with someone who has done the same. Please
let me know. I can be reached at karl@brusen.com <mailto:karl@brusen.com>.
