Dynamips Support
Dynamips is a popular emulator for Cisco routers, that can load and run IOS images on virtual routers on your PC. Dynamips does have limitations, particularly with respect to switching support (it can only simulate switch modules within a virtual router) and the amount of memory and CPU resources that are available on your PC. At IPexpert we understand that there are a lot of costs associated with studying for your CCIE lab exam and to that end we provide Dynamips configuration files for each of our labs that are downloadable when you purchase our products. In addition to Dynamips, we strongly recommend that you do at some practice labs using real equipment prior to your lab exam so that you are comfortable with the 3550, 3560 and 3750 switching elements of your study. Through our partner, Proctorlabs.com, we are also able to provide you with real equipment on which to implement each of our labs, when you need it.

I would like to thank all the guys at IPexpert for putting together a great set of workbooks and video training materials. I used the new Blended Learning Solution (Workbook Volumes 1, 2 and 3.) The Volume 1 labs are great to get a foundation in the individual technologies which lead nicely into the full scale Volume 2 labs. I cannot recommend the Volume 3 labs highly enough when used on IPexpert's vRacks. The ability to have the labs graded with a score and feedback available almost immediately is truly outstanding. This along with the video breakdown for each Volume 3 lab proved to be the turning point for me in the pursuit of my CCIE and pass at the first attempt.
The worst part about learning anything is not having a framework for success. IPexpert creates this framework, and provides the map and compass with which to navigate your way through the fog and turblent waters.
The Blended Learning Solution was an integral part of my preparation for the CCIE lab. The hundreds of hours of lab time that the workbooks provided allowed me to deeply develop the confidence and skill needed to pass the real lab. With an aggressive labbing schedule I was able to pass the lab within 4 months. I would certainly recommend IPexpert for anyone serious about attaining their CCIE certification.
