Greetings! Hope everyone is wrapping up their CCNP certifications before the July 31st deadlines. If you are still confused about what certs are valid after the deadline and want to know which you should be taking, have a look over here at my attempt to explaining it all.

I’ve been busy trying to absorb all of this study lately and well, It’e been tough! Whats the deal with life? Doesnt it know we want to become certified? So why must it get in the way?

I recently had surgery, the Wife became ill for almost 3 weeks (a very scary situation) and now work is ramping up as will :sigh: it seems almost impossible! Either way, all is well now. I’m back to good health and so is the Wife! Yay!

Ok – this is a simple lab of many that I have that I just need to package and put up. Sorry for the long gaps in between postings – I expect to do a better job once I complete this BSCI exam. I also plan to do a better job at posting lab challenges and scenarios where possible. The biggest problem is I’m still not at a skilled level yet to create any “tough” lab challenges. The best I can do is post what I find and use on my own for studying. I’ve got a lot of labs to post, just be patient with me.

Onto the lab! This is a lab from the Cisco Networking Academy Lab Portforlio.

CCNP Building Scalable Internetworks (BSCI 642-901) Lab Portfolio (Cisco Networking Academy)

Great source of LOTS and LOTS of labs. The bigger problem is the errors in the material – it can make you crazy. None the less, go through them; try your best and indulge is getting use to the commands more importantly. If you’re at the level where you can detect and mitigate the errors, good for you and please do share. If not – Just focus on the commands. The best way I can recommend coping with the errors, but still making use of it all.
