Hey ,
Tomorrow will be the big day when I will attempt the voice Lab for the first time in Brussels. Lucky me , as I’m belgian , I don’t need to book at an hotel . The only think that I need is to drive to Brussels and be early as Cisco offices are in a difficult part of Brussels , so will be awake early . I’m guessing also that the stress will become more intensive so I will have some issues to get a good sleep .
Nevermind , I’m thinking that it is already a good thing and I don’t regret the amount of time that I’ve passed on my studies . Now it is definitively time to see what it is really …
I would like already thank all my co-workers which have been a great help and resources when we were thinking to exercices configuration .
I will keep you updated probably Wednesday morning as tomorrow will be surely a day where i don’t want to touch my computer anymore after the lab .
Thanks
Oliver

Hi ,
In order to prepare myself to have a good preparation for the lab , the best that you can do is to lab all the time. Every time that you have the occasion , practise as much as you can .
Now I’m in that phase where I’m taking every little minute to do full lab !!!
Practise is the best that you can do 🙂

Hi
It was a while that I haven’t post something, but the reason is simple. I’m doing my lab and try to practise and practise , doing practise as much as possible.
Until now (1 month), I have already taken into account an amount of 170 hours of labbing. Still need to practise to grow up this count .
Will try to follow up more 🙂
Thanks
Olivier 🙂

As said in my previous post, I’m still lacking the lab section so I decided this 05th April to rent a rack by ProctorLabs ( www.proctorlabs.com). The solution that they offer is incredible but is also not so cheap. It is worth to try it as you can manipulate the core with all their routers and cards.
The only problems for the first time was to connect correctly to the rack as the config that they sent you is good but not complete at all so you definitively need to review it before you can process your lab. When you don’t know how to process with their connectivities , it is really amazing the time that you can lose .
But next time if I need , I have a template that I can apply to have a quicker setup .

Hi ,
Since the last update , I’m still working on deploy a home lab with GNS 3 and Vmware image. Still no luck as last week one of my servers crashed. The result was that one DD3 memory is dead …. I can’t tell you how it is funny to discover that once it happened , nothing stay anymore stable. No more possibility to register my remote sites and phones are very slow on the network. I can imagine that GNS3 is taking soo much memories that it sucks my network.
Now still looking to have a real hardware, I’m nearly on the process to have one but still missing some E1/T1 cards to perform it .
Will try to chase for extra-hardware ….
See the results soon 😉
