I will look into these options. But, the lab I have is nice with no tokens involved and all my work is saved.

Speaking as someone who does have his own lab, (4351, c220, 2x3560-24ps) ... it really isn’t all that’s cracked up to be.

I feel like “Owning the lab” is one of those myths people chase and only want it until they have it (like owning a boat or in ground swimming pool). It sounds nice, till you realize the PITA it is to maintain.

I find my self troubleshooting / changing “my lab” more than I use it.

For the purposes of passing something like the CCIE, I would, as Anthony suggests, get a training partner that already has the equipment and is reasonably setup in a similar fashion to the lad. That way all you have to do is practice.

Thanks Ryan, I will look into that too, but you got to admit… nothing like having your own lab.

Thanks Anthony, I get you, but its damn near murder to get the ova and iso’s than it is I to get the hardware. Also, my lab has come in handy not just for the labs but for customer testing. I will look into a training partner like Vik (collab). Just find it frustrating, almost like as if they are setting you up for failure.

I feel your frustration, but this journey is not free, nor cheap. Get ready to sacrifice some shit, if you really want it.

Also, I'm against building home labs for this specific journey. Just sign on with a training partner, and they'll have you covered.

That's just my opinion.

Off topic. Gearing up for my ccie v2 lab.

Why is it that I have to search and pay for useless ova’s and iso’s that don’t work for this test lab unless I have a Cisco customer contract? Demo licenses are free but CUCM Pub/SUB ova are not unless you have a contract.

Dang,
Ben
