Building a home lab
Since the arrival of my IPExpert Blended Learning Solution I have been forced to take the CCIE lab studying a little more serious. Today I decided to start putting together some pieces to help me study. I have a Dell 1435 server that is going ot be my home GNS3 machine, so hopefully with its dual processors and 2GB of memory I will be able to run more virtual devices than my regular home machine. At work I will be setting up a GNS3 lab with a Dell 2850 that currently has 8 physical interfaces thanks to some PCI-E cards and an ASA 5520 and Pix 515. Depending on when they announce the changes to the CCIE Security lab I may need to get a VPN Concentrator since my lab is scheduled in April. I also hope to get access to at least a 4215 but hopefully we can get a 4240 for testing.
With the completion of my home setup I hope to create a few tutorials as I go along in my studying. Hopefully I can make them as good as the ones over at Blindhog. Well, back to the lab build.
