Cisco CCIE Lab Equipment – Free! (using Dynamips)
So you’ve decided to pursue the Cisco CCIE certification. Congratulations! The CCIE written exam (350-001) and CCIE lab exam are not only two of the most challenging Cisco Certification exams but also two of the most challenging certification exams in the industry.
Haven’t passed your CCIE written yet?
Well before you go out and spend half your salary investing in hardware to build a CCIE lab, make sure you consider a great, low-cost alternative. Dynamips is a free router emulator (not simulator) which runs actual IOS code. Dynagen is a front-end developed to make using Dynamips a snap.
Plenty of companies, such as Internetwork Expert, have even designed their lab workbooks around Dynamips.
Need way to quickly pass the CCIE R&S written exam so you can start studying for the lab?
Finally, it’s important to note that, contrary to what you may have heard, taking the CCIE R&S Written exam (350-001) does NOT require access to lab equipment. In fact, if you simply study these CCIE R&S written study notes, you can be assured you will pass on your first attempt – guaranteed!
