Richard,

The solutions now are in the form of end configuration txt iles and
thats it.
The detailed solution guide is about to be released but it costs $500 on
top of what you paid for the workbook.

Far from it that the workbook is bad (it is actualy very good), but
sometimes it is hard to see what config lines solve what requirement.
The web support is not too prompt, but this is the case with all.

All in all, I also purchased internetwork expert labs, but ipexpert labs
36-40 seem a lot harder (better)... but internetwork expert give you the
solution guide for "free".
When I compare ipexpert labs with the real exam, the real exam looks
like childs play, but somehow I always fail ;)

Marko

        This is why I am reticent with IPExpert. Are the questions in
one book and the detailed answers in another ?

        If you want realy tough labs, try Ipexpert labs 36-40

        One thing that bothers me. Solution guide costs $500 (!?), this
feels
        like a ripoff because they want to collect twice...
        My company bought the workbook for me, but to pay once more just
for the
        solutions...

        I don't know if this price applies for existing customers (just
upgraded
        to 6.0 - nothing new there), any feedback?

        Hi, let me state my recommendations:

        Start with Tom's e-book, then go for CCBootcamp Companion book
(10
        stepbysteplabs), then do InternetworkExpert (20 stepbysteplabs)
and
        finally
        the more difficult one (at least for me), the Doitlab workbook
(22
        spottheissue labs). All three are great tools !!! Trust me. I
don't
        know
        when I will be done with all this stuff but I am enjoying so
much that I
        don't mind rescheduling the lab for one more year.
        If I had to buy only one I would not know which, I think all are
must
        have
        guides with different standpoints.
        I don't think it's fair to say that NMC has errors because all
the
        guides
        have some (have you read Solie ?!?), also you will find that the
support
        forum is a very active one. Try and post a question there and
let me
        know
        how much time you had to wait for the answer ;)

        Regards

        --Richard

        The Internetwork Expert lab is the best resource so far. The
solution
        guide
        is perfect, and I must say I learned a lot, and learning day by
day as I
        move along.

        Go for it. It is more than worth it.

        Hi Ahmed

        Please pardon my intrusion here.

        I am also preparing for the lab, I failed back in November and
back to
        on my
        feet again.

        How would u rate Intetnetwork Lab book in comparison to NMC. NMC
seems
        to
        have few inconsistencies and errors, the explanations are Ok,
but when u
        look at the actual solution, it is not right...and that's what
matter in
        the
        lab.

        Thanks

        Samir

        Group,

        Can someone explain the following:

        Task 9.3 clearly says CIR is 256000
        Task 9.5 states Burst up to its port speed. Bc: Wouldn't we
simply use
        512000 for Bc instead of calculating through the formula: BC=CIR
*
        Tc/1000

        The solution guide states

        AR (port speed) = 512000 bps -------> agreed
        CIR (average rate) = 384000bps -------------> if task clear
says that
        CIR
        25600, then how to identify the correct CIR value. The task 9.4
states
        R1
        should send data at 384000.

        Solution guide has also defined the Be eventhough is not asked
to
        configured.

        Regards,

        Ahmed
