ROUTE labs?

I have been labbing a lot lately. I'm noticing that a large amount of time is spent on lab setup, etc. A lot of the time I'm sort of just "freestyling" it, though. Coming up with my own labs on the fly.

I think I could save a lot of time with pre-made lab questions, where I emulate the depicted setup, then solve it with real gear.

Anyone have any labs? OR know where I could find some?

For the ROUTE exam, there is no lab book yet. You should be able to find a copy of the BCSI Lab Portfolio from Cisco Press, which will cover a lot of the material.

There are also lots of CCIE lab books out there, just do a search.

Ditto for the BSCI Lab Portfolio. Check out here too
GNS3 Lab and Exercise | GNS3 Labs :: Cisco Router Simulator Network Labs & Topologies
You can find some good labs/topologies in there as well.

I'll thrown in GNS 3 Vault, which has some labs in there... you can even contribute some of your "freestyle" labs there for others in the same boat. I think with a little additional community effort, it can make for great ROUTE experience. HTH.

Have you tried http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccnp/48081-free-lab-book.html ?

Just because it's free doesn't mean it isn't good. It assumes ccnp-like skills, but if you're looking for more labs, you're probably ready for it.

I actually paid for this before he made available free of charge.

Thanks for the links guys!

Yes, I already have the free lab book, but I haven't gone through it much yet.

I'll play with these and add some of my own. Thanks again!

I also forgot about this link. He has some great lab walk-throughs for various topics. I think that should be enough to keep you busy for a while.

If you're referring to my above link post... yes... that's CCIEWannabe who put together those videos. The ones that I've looked at thus far have been really nice. I plan on using these throughout my ROUTE studies! I may even purchase the videos via his ebay store. HTH.
