Hi Sabeen, here are my suggestions:
There are several ways you can go which depend on the lab workbooks you are
going to use:
-- If you are short of routers and are just starting the CCIE trip, go for
Tom Larus e-book. His advices are not to be missed !!
-- If you only use CCO white papers then three to four routers and two
switches should suffice depending on the whitepaper.
-- If you use InternetworkExpert then they have the cheapest rack rental
(the cheapest book too) in the market (15$ every 11 hours !!!).I think that
their rate quality/price is the best you will currently find. The material
covered and how it is covered is gold.
-- If you want to purchase your own lab then I would go for the DoitLab
workbook. They require the minimum number of routers. Their stuff in the
workbook is also of high quality and the support forum is good !! Maybe the
price is a bit high but the service given is worth every dollar.
-- By what I have seen on the sample scenario of CCBootcamp Lab Companion
guide, you need few routers too. And it is a step by step guide.
-- On IPExpert maybe someone else can comment on the new version of the
book. Personnaly I find the price a bit high and my pocket is currently
empty, lol. I can only comment on the CCSP book which was very well written.
I hope this gave you a good idea on what's needed to prepare for the lab.
--Richard

Asunto: which equipments?
Hello,
My question is toward recent CCIE's and CCIE
candidates. Which equipments are good to practice for
ccie lab? Since there have been a lot of changes in
lab, I do not think that only practicing on 2500's
routers will help to gain ccie cert that most of the
ppl are selling for home labs.
So what you guys are practicing on? What you have in
home labs that helped you achieve ccie or helping you
to become ccie?
The equipments listed for ccie on cisco.com are pretty
expensive to purchase for home lab.
Sabeen
