My personal opinion, is the bootcamps are a waste of your time and money
If you have not done any hands on before you get there. I plan on taking
a
5 day camp a month before I do the lab, to assess how ready I am and
where my
Weak spots are..I would either rent the equipment via rack time, or buy
a
Stack of routers and switches from ebay or someone that is selling
thiers.

Subject: Do we REALLY need a CCIE home LAB
GOOD DAY to everybody from Singapore,
I'm planning to take LAB exam sometime next year and now i'm at the
crossroad and do not know which way to go and I would greatly appriciate
your advise especially from those who has taken the exam before.
basically,I have few options here:
1. Building a complete LAB ( ISDN,ATM,Voice) it is mission-impossible to
me as it would cost me $$,$$$
2. Builing a moderate LAB ( without ISDN, Voice, ATM, 3550) and rent
some LBA on line It would cost me about 3K and time to collect bits and
pieces through EBAY.
3. Go for a Bootcamp. ( seem to be very expensive 5K for 07 day
Training), Someone said " if you think education is expensive, try
ignorance" but I do believe there are still way out for those
unfortuante like me who do not have big $$$$ to spend.
What options do you think would be the best, anybody here can tell me
where should I start, which books? .... I passed my Written and had
quite considerable expereince with Routing/voiceIP/Frame-Relay...etc
but I think if I do not study the Right way I will not be able to pass
any exam at all.
Thanks in advance
Sam
