CCNP Topologies

ishgotbike

Hello Everyone,

Benn awhile since i started a post. I have been looking through the posts and notice the Lab suggestions but no sample Topologies. Would anyone have a Topology that they have used for the Bcmsn exam. I looked at the cisco recommended topology and wonder if that is it or is there something better or more recommended.

Any suggestions would be great. Below is the Wendell Odom article and his recommendations.

for GNS3 labs try here....I've found plenty of routing, multicast and IPSec labs.....and more

CCNP | GNS3 Labs :: Cisco Router Simulator Network Topologies

Download GNS3 if you haven't already and you can also download sample configs from the above.

Also try searching the Cisco Learning website. There is a BSCI sample lab here

Many people think this is overkill to buy this kit. As mentioned previously GNS3 makes the ££$$££$$ issue go away if you have 12.4 IOS

Wendell Odom also posts reguarly on his blog of lab suggestions bot sure about topologies though.

Also I've just received the BSCI Lab portfolio and it appears to be quite comprehensive from flicking through it although I spotted an IP addressing error on the first lab, it appears to give really good examples and step by step instructions how to config the lab based on a topology.

I just realized that you're doing the BCMSN, sorry most of my links are related to BSCI but hopefully it will help someone anyway

I pretty much used this topology to practice on, except topologies that was in the lab portfolio:
