Topology / Hardware

About Our Online Hardware/ vRacks

 Proctor Labs provides 24 CCIE Routing & Switching vRacks that are second-to-none. Our Cisco equipment is the latest and greatest available and we provide an online experience like no other provider can. All Proctor Labs R&S racks are structured around the IPexpert CCIE R&S product topology consisting of 13 routers (including Frame Relay switch, Terminal Server and three Backbone routers) and four Catalyst switches. We also guarantee that our wireless software and IOS match the lab, that the hardware is the most up-to-date on the market and that the interface will provide clients with a user-friendly experience. Maximize your study time by renting Proctor Labs' online hardware. You will be impressed by the customized graphical user interface that allows you full access and control of the devices in your rack!

Remote Control Tools:

  • All routers can be controlled via the web with our GUI remote control system.
  • You will not waste time on our racks... when you begin your session, your routers WILL BE set to the default (blank) setting. Each device can be power cycled by our RPC (Remote Power Control) system with a click of a button.
  • Single Page Login (no need to telnet to rack’s terminal server). Login and begin using our online hardware instantly.
  • Session Management (view scheduled time and reschedule without human intervention).

Standard CCIE R&S Topology

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.

As you begin working through your IPexpert materials, we are confident you will be extremely pleased with the content. Our renowned team of instructors developed a methodology for teaching engineers complex technologies in a structured manner that maximizes understanding during each study session.

From the accuracy and thoroughness of the material to the flow from topic to topic, our years of product refinement are evident throughout. That said, because we are constantly striving to improve, our Instructors may revise the materials you purchase. Whether the wording of single question is changed or an entire section is replaced, you will receive online access to the revised material at no charge.

NOTICE: The above-stated details are governed by the following program policies:

  • The lifetime of your Investment Assurance Program coverage correlates to the Cisco exam version in effect at the time of your purchase. When a new version of the certification exam you are pursuing becomes effective and enforced by Cisco, you will be offered a discounted upgrade path to purchase training solutions correlated to the new exam version.
  • Coverage is valid for products and courses directly purchased from and delivered by IPexpert. Training products and courses purchased through or delivered by third parties and partners of IPexpert may be governed by separate policies set forth by the third party vendor.
  • Coverage is valid for training purchased at full retail pricing. Coverage may not be applicable with sale prices, negotiated volume discounts, promotional giveaways, free samples or other non-standard pricing scenarios.
  • Regarding errata and revisions provided for self-study products, online access may not be applicable to all products. In that case, you will have the option to purchase new media for a nominal fee to cover production, shipping and handling.
  • If you purchase an IPexpert instructor-led course, but do not pass the exam afterwards, you are eligible to retake the class once again before your next lab exam attempt - at NO CHARGE. 

Our retake seats include full access to your own dedicated pod of equipment, just like your first time through the class!

To Be Determined Policy    

  • To be determined (TBD) registrations are often requested when there is a promotion or special pricing available. These TBD registrations must be paid in full within 30 days of purchase. Payment plans are not accepted for TBD students. If purchase is initiated by purchase order, countdown begins at the date full payment is received.
  • Classes must be scheduled and taken within twelve (12) months from purchase date. If the class has not been scheduled or taken by the beginning of the thirteenth (13) month, the registration will be forfeit.
  • Rescheduling will be limited to two (2) additional times during that twelve (12) month period with the class date no more than three (3) months from the current date.
  • TBD registrations are non-refundable. In-store credit for the course fee (the amount paid less full-retail Self-Study/vRack price) will be issued if the TBD course is cancelled within the 12 month window.
  • Students are subject to rescheduling fees and course policies as outlined on the Course Registration Form.
  • If student registers and confirms a class date, registration cannot be converted to a TBD registration again at any time, the rescheduling policy must be followed.


    Note:
     Students are required to complete the Cisco Course Evaluation for the first class to qualify for a retake. Our courses are consistently in high-demand and fill up fast. Retake seats are limited, of course, so email your request to sales@ipexpert.com as soon as possible to have a better selection of dates and locations.
