I’m about 75% complete with the IPExpert workbook for R&S and I figured I would post my impressions thus far. Keep in mind, I have little to compare to, and these are purely based on my own personal experience.
To start out, I do not have access to equipment with the static configuration necessary to complete all the labs in this book. For this reason, I have gone with Proctor Labs. If you buy the IPExpert workbook and you’re looking to rent rack space, Proctor labs is the logical solution. To do the labs you need to make sure your physical topology matches the workbook. See this link for the topology I’m talking about:: Topology
You can certainly buy your own equipment, but I don’t have that luxury. I wasn’t interested in Dynamips either because I didn’t feel like improvising diagrams based on interface number differences (not to mention the lack of switching features).
