Hi Omar,
First, congratulations on passing the written and welcome to the realm of
"unknown". Just kidding!
Every vendor will try to get you to understand the technology behind each
task... so, there is no "best" or "x better than y". It simply depends on
which vendor works for you. If you havent already, I'd say you should first
read Odom's TCP/IP vol1 and 2 and Internet Routing Architectures by Sam
Halabi (BGP bible!)
Learn to browse the cisco documentation online, in and out... oh and
GOOGLE... make it your new best friend...
I personally have used IE products, I found them to be quite simple in
approach and they really got me the understanding to attempt full labs.. but
to each his own..
A bootcamp at a later date is a good idea if you have the money or got
corporate sponsor. Otherwise just practice and break your own labs at times
to see how a task may have an alternate solution.
Where dynamips is concerned, you can practice abt 80-85% of all required
tech on it... but you would need a real rack to get the feel and to know how
the switches are configured. Its a bit different than using an ESW module on
a 3640.
If you want to find the best (and cheap) rack rentals around, I'd say
google... you will get the one which would be good for you. If you are not
concerned at the price difference, you can always go with the vendor's own
rack rentals; whose workbooks you are using... makes life a bit simpler and
eases the mind...
Good Luck!!
Piyoush.
