Topology / Hardware
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.About Our Preparation eBook for CCIE R&S Core Knowledge / OEQ
IPexpert's industry-recognized collection of workbooks has now been enhanced. This workbook is part of the world's most up-to-date training solution available for Cisco's grueling CCIE Service Provider Lab exam.
Nearly a decade of leading the CCIE training industry, IPexpert has coined the term "Structured Learning Approach" to describe its methodology for maximizing student success. IPexpert has developed learning materials around proven techniques. Over one thousand successful students have enthusiastically recommend these study techniques to others. Some companies claim to be experts in this field, but the fact that IPexpert has amassed the world's largest list of successful CCIEs speaks for itself. Follow IPexpert's Structured Learning Approach and become the next member of this elite group.
Candidates taking the CCIE Service Provider Lab must master a "Core Knowledge" component of the practical exam. Candidates are given 4 questions at the beginning of the lab that prove to the Proctor that you understand the theory of the lab. This must be passed prior to moving on. Our Core Knowledge preparation workbook is the solution that allows students to master this theory.
Developed by IPexpert's highly-decorated team of instructors, be certain that this workbook combination is the most up-to-date and refined product on the market. It's FREE and will be delivered to your Member's Area.

I would like to thank IPexpert for providing excellent lab scenarios for my preparation for the CCIE SP lab exam. The scenarios send you down paths that you normally wouldn't even think of, forcing you to really learn and understand the underlying technologies and help you pass. I bought the CCIE SP Lab Preparation Workbook with Proctor Guide in addition to attending the 5 Day Instructor Led Boot Camp. Both played an important role in my success.
I would like to thank the whole IPEXPERT team for their great contribution in helping me pass the SP lab exam from the first time. Their workbooks were really of great help to me. They have a magnificent technology based workbook which covers the most important topics and a great collection of secondary IOS features and services.
I believe the IPEXPERT team are working to make us pass the lab before earning money and this is the key of their success. I will sure consider using IPEXPERT products in any future CCIE preparation. Thank you all again.
