About IPexpert's 10 Day CCIE Voice (3.0) Lab Preparation Boot Camp

IPexpert’s Voice 10 Day Lab Preparation Boot Camp is designed for CCIE Voice candidates in the last month or weeks before their CCIE Voice Lab. During the first week clients will receive hours of in depth lecture from one of IPexpert's world renowned CCIE Instructors. IPexpert instructors will provide detailed explanation and facilitate group discussion. Clients will have access to individual attention from the Instructor when personal mentoring is needed. After each day’s lectures, clients will be challenged with hours of extremely complex lab scenarios to help reinforce the material covered earlier in the day. On day five, clients will work through a difficult full-scale mock lab that will put all abilities to the test.

In the first week of IPexpert’s popular Boot Camp, clients will receive hours of in depth lecture from one of IPexpert's world renowned Instructors that will provide detailed explanation and facilitate group discussion. After each day’s lectures, clients will be challenged with hours of extremely complex lab scenarios that run late into the evening, reinforcing the material covered earlier in the day. On day five, clients will work through a difficult full-scale mock lab that will put all abilities to the test.

During the second week of this course, the Instructors administer and act as a proctor by providing clarification in the same manner the proctor would during the actual CCIE Voice Lab exam to help replicate the actual lab environment. Clients will be challenged to think problems through without having the solutions provided, a very important part of lab preparation training. After clients have performed the troubleshooting and assessment, if further assistance is needed, the instructor will assist in resolving any issues. IPexpert instructors will help clients develop a world-class troubleshooting approach so clients encounter the same problem they will be able to quickly identify and solve the issue.

IPexpert's specialized course contains both detailed explanations and challenging labs on advanced topics including configuration & troubleshooting of Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7, Unified Presence 7, Unity Connection 7, Unified Contact Center Express 7, H323 Gatekeepers, Unified Border Elements, SIP Registrar/Proxy and Redirect Servers, Unified Communications Manager Express 7, SIP and SCCP 796X series endpoints, expert level Dial-Plan implementation, SRST, AAR, IPMA, B-ACD, PSTN trunk signaling protocols such as T1 / E1 / PRI / CAS / SCCP / MGCP / H323 / SIP, QoS and RSVP, among other protocols and voice applications. All IPexpert courses are frequently reviewed to ensure that it is up to date and meets the latest topics tested on the CCIE lab exam blueprint. IPexpert instructors will teach invaluable tips on lab strategy and test preparation techniques to maximize the opportunity to pass the real CCIE Voice Lab exam.

Throughout the course clients will have unlimited access to their own personal rack of equipment matching the CCIE Voice Lab blueprint. Clients immersed in an environment without the distraction of work and personal obligations, clients will maintain the undisrupted focus required to benefit from the volume of material concentrated into one week.

This course has been the key to success for many CCIE's around the world, recognized as the most effective preparation course for the CCIE Voice Lab exam available anywhere.

Hardware / Topology

About Our Online Hardware / vRacks

Proctor Labs is an online CCIE rack solution provider that rents remote access to CCIE students. Proctor Labs provides 24 CCIE Voice vRacks. These Voice vRacks are second-to-none in the CCIE online rack rental industry. The Proctor Labs vRacks are equipped with the latest Cisco hardware, IOS and applications available. The vRacks truly provide an online experience like no other online rack vendor can offer. 

All of the CCIE Voice vRacks are structured to model the IPexpert CCIE Voice product topology consisting of 2800 series ISR routers (including Frame Relay and PSTN switch, Terminal Server and Backbone routers) Catalyst switches (3750 and ESW Modules), 5 servers, 4 remote 7960 IP phones plus support for your own hardware 7961, 7962, 7964 & 7965 IP phones or softphones to make up the total of 9 phones to test with. Proctor Labs also guarantees that the IOS is the latest and greatest, that the hardware is the most up-to-date on the market (matching what is actually on the real lab) and that user interface will provide a user-friendly experience. 

Not only is the hardware and interface the best around, it is also supported 24x7 by an elite group of technical support representatives who are just a phone call or instant-message away.

Do not use older, outdated or slower racks. Use the best solution available today - the Proctor Labs vRack solution. 

Maximize study time by renting Proctor Labs' online hardware. Current clients are impressed by the customized graphical user interface that allows full access and control of the devices in the vRack. 

Remote Control Tools in the User Interface:

  • All routers, switches and servers can be controlled via the web with the GUI remote control system.
  • Clients will not waste time on the racks...when clients begin a session, they will be able to choose the lab scenario they are working on (Volume 1 & 2 Workbooks, or the ILT 5-day and OWLE Labs if clients have previously taken one of the courses), and pre-load all configurations specific to that particular lab scenario - THIS INCLUDES loading VMWare snapshots to enable new 'base" pre-configuration for each of the servers (many labs have differing server and router base pre-configurations from other labs).
  • Web based support for the use of clients own Hardware Phones - INCLUDING PSTN Phone - just enter the phone MAC Address into the website and click "Apply". 
  • Dynamically switch PSTN in real-time between practicing with E1 PRI or E1 R2 CAS with just the click of a button. If clients wish to go beyond and practice a protocol such as CAS, even if PRI might be the predominant protocol in a given lab you are working on.
  • SSH/HTTP access to all CUCOS Servers and RDP/HTTP access to UCCX Server.
  • Access to VMWare virtual servers (CUCM(s), CUPS, UC, UCCX) with ability to start / stop / and revert to clean configuration.
  • Each device can be power-cycled by 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 the online hardware instantly.
  • Session Management (view scheduled time and reschedule without human intervention).
