I did my CCNP about 2 years ago. Have a big Cisco Lab at home. For long time I was loking for a book that can give me a real feel of actual CCIE labs. I found that in this book. The CD has all the answers for the all 7 labs. Since I have not attempted the exam yet, I don't know how close they are from real exam.

I am a CCNP, CCDP and getting experience at work in Cisco ops. I am slowly pursuing CCIE as time permits. I have brought this book and any other Cisco titles that will help me practice, practice, etc. So I have not gone thru any or all the labs. In fact I am currently pursuing the CCSP this year and practicing on my router/switches as time permits. I have also ordered the CCIE practice R/S coming soon, and may pursue that first since I have much more gear. I don't have the PIX, VPN .... which is around another $5-7K but pretty close to what I need for ccie r/s. So why am I giving it 5 stars because other books/workbooks cost many times more than this. So the one interview which gave this a bad rap, he has dug into it and knows but this type of material usually is many times the cost of this book. If you have the gear, want to pursue ccie its worth it.Otherwise ccie prep classes $2-4k, ccie workbooks $hundreds of dollars, so these Cisco CCIE practices labs, practicals are GREAT as far as I am concerned. Its quite possible and probably true that they contain "errors" but us so called CCIE candidates are supposed to be "experts" or are we just looking for something so we can just follow the cookbook and earn the CCIE title.I for one want to work thru the configurations and figure it out to become a CCIE. Either I have what it takes or not. If I can't figure it out then I don't deserve the title.
Couldn't have passed without it

The most authentic study material out there. Will almost guarantee success at the real CCIE Security Lab exam.
Excellent book

The labs are very challenging and the layout is perfect. The "show" commands and configs provided in the CD are very helpful. Also each chapter includes hints and verification sections. It is surely worth the money. Compared to other high priced lab workbooks, this is a steal.
