Hi all,

I too use a virtual voice topology in my studies heavily :)
Of course nothing can replace you the real 6500 with 6608 and
CUE, but at least you can practice tons of other good stuff :)

For the CUE, you can take some practice lab on Cisco's PEC,
if you work for a cisco partner. For 6503 you can just copy and
paste most of the QoS configs from QoS SRND ;) As for 6608 you
just need a couple of commands on 6500 to get it running... For
the rest of MGCP gateways, router configs are pretty simple too
(and are available as examples on DocCD).

Hardware media resources could be set up with just a small bunch
of commands too (know where to find them on DocCD, have a good
understanding of troubleshooting and you're ok to go).

As I feel it, the key to pass your voice lab is a really good
strategy. You can just take voice lab linearly through the lab
blueprint: e.g. adding the phones should be better done after you
have 90% of CCM already configured :) Also, you should better
start the lab with CME/CUE setup, since they could be done via
CLI and are pretty much isolated from other topics.

This is why i'm working hard on developing a good, time-paced lab
taking plan :) I hope i could work it out by the end of November ;)
