It seems IPExpert has some new study materials coming out in the next week or so. They have a new blended learning solution that comes to you on a external hard drive. Looks pretty sweet! Check out the [1] R&S demo.

Just when I thought I was getting caught up! I can’t help but be curious.

If you already have the V9 stuff, you get to upgrade to Vol1 and Vol2. The Vol3 part of things comes with 10 mock labs with a video walk through. What better than a live walk through? It’s nice to have someone share their tips and tricks with how they approach each lab.

They are offering the 1st lab for Vol 3 free as a demo. [2] Check it out yourself. It’s cool because [3] proctor labs supports the grading which saved me from doing a stare and compare.

I thought the 1st lab in Volume 3 has really improved. Right away I noticed the topology map was new. A problem I have with the Version 9 stuff is I found myself memorizing the network diagram. Having a new diagram is really helpful because you need to get practice drawing things out in your own way that makes sense to you. Seeing a new diagram layout gave me a good impression to start with. The lab went well, check it out.

That reminds me, I need to work on my Virtual template configurations. It’s not that they are hard, but the authentication requirement kept breaking my connectivity!
