Brian,

I noticed that some of the links on the documentation link to Cisco's main website. Will we have access to these links in the CCIE lab?

In the CCIE lab you will have access to any of the links on the DocCD (http:www.cisco.com/univercd). Any of the links that link off of the DocCD can be accessed assuming they are related to the CCIE lab. Example: the link to Cisco's Market Place from the DocCD will not be available in the lab or the link to the Product Quick Reference Guide won't be available.
