The single most important preparation for the CCIE lab is hands on router
configurations. Reading the books are just the start. Real world
experience is very helpful, but I don't think many people on this list can
say that they have worked with every R/S topic extensively. You must spend
countless hours working on different technologies. Commercial labs like
IPexpert's online labs are a great way to find out what your strengths and
weaknesses are, you'll find out that you will fly through topic areas that
you have a lot of experience in and that you will struggle at area's that
you have little experience in. It really helps you understand what you need
to focus on. The CCIE lab is very difficult with or without commercial
labs. There are many ppl that go to CCIE bootcamps, work on the Lab
scenarios, etc and still take the test several times without passing. The
bottom line is, you have to get this stuff to get your number, be able to
absorb a ton of info, not fold under pressure, etc. If you didn't, the CCIE
program wouldn't have been around for 10+ years with under 10,000 CCIE's....
Just my opinion.

Caslow is falling to bits, as is Doyle and other resources. How do
candidates feel about commercial lab offerings? I understand that grumbles
about commercial lab specifics have been frowned upon on this mailing list,
but this is a generic post. Seems to me that CCIE 'pioneers' had Caslow,
Doyle, Halibi, Welcher et al and nothing else. There are a lot of commercial
labs out there and wondered what folks make of them.
