This kit is based on the new Version 4.0 topology of the training materials provided by Internetwork Expert, Inc. It makes use of the specifications as provided by Internetwork Expert to provide a cost effective alternative to the full blown CCIE Lab Rack topology used by Internetwork Expert, for the serious student with a limited budget. All of the routers in this kit use the Cisco 12.3 IOS and/or 12.4 IOS. This kit will allow the student to do almost all of the lab exercises in any of the Internetwork Expert CCIE study materials. There are few lab exercises that can't be done with this kit since we replaced the 3560s and 1841s that are in the Platnium kit with lower cost 3640 routers and 3550 switches.  But you will still be able to do approximately 90% of the labs!   

One of the main advantages of using the Internetwork Expert product line of CCIE preparation products is that the physical lab topology for all of the products is the same. This means that no matter which Routing & Switching product you are using you will not need additional devices in your rack, and furthermore you won't even need to change the cabling once your rack is set up, ever!

Finally an added bonus is this same lab setup maps very closely to our CCNP topology and labs.  This will help you get the most value for your money.  Keep in mind, we can always customize any lab to meet your needs.  Below you will find the contents of this lab:
