I would recommend it but I haven't passed the lab yet. My second
attempt is Thursday so I'll let you all know if it did the trick. I've
used CCBootcamp's labs and IPExpert's. A couple of disadvantages of
the IPExpert labs:
1. Poor quality binding. It will fall apart on you.
2. Horribly inaccurate solutions.
3. The topology is the same on every lab. (This may be a disadvantage
in that you get used to the same type of connectivity. It just depends
on how quick you are to pick up new topologies. It is nice not to have
to recable every 8 hours or so.)
The scenarios seem pretty good all in all. I do wish there was more
CAT3550 stuff in there. It's plain scary how much those devices will
do when you think about the lab.

Subject: the IPExpert endorsement posted by cebuano
Hi all,
After seeing the endorsement of IPExpert's R&S workbook, I'm wondering
what others have to say about it and whether it's worth the cost.
And, of course, I'm also wondering for which type of ccie candidate is
this product most suitable. (I'm very strong on the theory stuff but
I don't have extensive hands-on experience. I have a good lab but it
doesn't include any 3550's, ATM or voice. I've been using Solie's
book, the CCIE Lab Practice Kit, and some old ccbootcamp labs for
practice)
I just looked at their website and saw they were asking $499.00 + s/h
but I didn't see anything saying if that's the 50% off price or the
price before the 50% discount.
So, what do you IPExpert users think about me forking over the bucks
for their R&S Workbook product?
Strongly recommend - bite the bullet and don't think about the cost?
Recommend but wouldn't call it a must have?
Better to spend the money on 3550's or 2600's with voice modules?
I appreciate all the feedback I can get on this. Thanks kindly,
Jim
