Route lab study question

ncnavguy

Hello all I have decided to take on Route as my first step towards CCNP. I have order the Route FLG book as it seems to get solid reviews. My question is with the new IOU learning labs is offering, Should I buy the Route Lab guide?

I plan on purchasing a 25hr block of IOU lab time and from I read on amazon reviews the route lab guide is more for someone that doesnt have access to labs.

While the recently released IOU certainly looks promising, you’re probably better off purchasing the lab guide and doing everything in GNS3 (assuming that you have access to an IOS or 2).

Looks to be quite a bit of overlap between the IOU package and the lab guide so either way, you would probably only need one or the other.
