Passed CCNA R&S - Now Looking For Hard Labs/Sims to Master Content

mysongranhills

Recently passed my 200-101(ICND2), but left the exam center feeling like a bit of a fraud. I studied hard, set-up a few networks in GNS3 and configured some real gear in my home lab. However after passing I still felt if I was dropped into a real world situation where all I was given is some generic info like "the network is down", I'd have some difficulties.


So now I'd really like to turn my book/test knowledge into more concrete real world knowledge, before I forget all the stuff I crammed. Does anyone know some great sims or troubleshooting type scenarios? The more difficult the better as long as is mostly CCNA level stuff. Currently I think I'm capable of completing any CCNA level set-up/config/troubleshooting but at certain steps I might need to look up documentation or may not know the best practice. I'm hoping further hand on study with make the info sink in to the point I don't have to think about it or look anything up.

First of all, congrats on the pass!

As far as labs, GNS3vault has some decent free labs you can look at it. All Labs - GNS3vault

There is also the CCNA Simulator from Pearson, though it's expensive you'll get about 450 labs to work with.
