Really Awesome contents and style.
Thanks
Thanks Brian. I have been waiting for a workbook like that for quite some time. The CoD is really good! I’m half way through the BCMSN part.
Brain, you put a lot of work into the workbook and into the development of the CCNP content. I would expect nothing less from a great company.
Regards
Ahhh That’s what I was waiting for
Thanks Brian
Hi there,
i am currently trying to prepare for my CCNP Certification, and i am thinking about purchasing the CCNP Bootcamp CoD. Is this Lab workbook also included in the fee ? or do i have to purchase this extra ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Kind regards,
Chris
@Chris
It is included in the price along with the CCNP Bootcamp Class-on-Demand. For customers that want just the workbook, it will be available as a standalone product by the end of the month.
Hi Brian,
thanks for your answer !
Kind regards,
Chris
Does Lab Time come with the CCNP COD? If not how does one work through the workbook?
@Mike
No, rack time is not included. You can use your own rack, Dynamips, or rent rack time from us through http://www.INE.com/rackrentals.htm and http://www.GradedLabs.com
Brian
the cost of renting from our beloved gradedlabs has gone up.What about a dedicated CCNP lab simpler than the CCIE and less expensive ?
@Giorgio
We were going to host a separate topology, but decided not to since you still need 4 switches to perform some of the BCMSN exercises, and ISRs for some of the BSCI/ISCW exercises. Gradedlabs sessions are generally between $15 and $35 per 4.5 hour session depending on time of day and week. If you compare this to the cost of actually purchasing the equipment, you could rent a rack session every day for a year and still save money. The other alternative would be to use Dynamips/Dynagen/GNS3.
Any plans for CCSP track?
@SickMonkey
Yes, but there is no concrete time frame yet.
Hi, any idea when the labs for BSCI, ISCW, and ONT will be posted? I’m still only seeing BCMSN.
