I read Scott's response as referring to studying simply by doing
practice labs. Practice labs that focus on simulating the CCIE lab
(8-hour) experience are not going to increase knowledge of the subtle
details of a protocol. Indeed, both Cisco books, and references such
as RFCs and non-Cisco technology tutorials will be needed there.
Is it reasonable to have practice labs that explore technologies?
Sure, especially if one is a "tactile learner". In general, however,
workbooks aren't set up with 20 or so variants on a technology and
explanations of how they differ.
Tactile learners absorb the most information from hands-on typing and
experimenting. The other recognized classes of learner (and no one is
purely one type) are visual (reading or perhaps slide presentation)
and aural (lecture). For example, I'm primarily a visual learner,
next tactile, and next aural.
Tactile/visual/aural is only one set of variables about how people
learn. Some people learn best by doing lots of practice paper tests.
I learn better by doing designs for networks using the technology,
and, while not a technique useful to everyone, thinking about how I
would implement the technology in software and hardware inside a
router.
