CML CCNP Lab Advice
To the experts out there! What do you recommend I do for my lab. Delete the firewall connected to R2 CEO (will do), Move the Firewall between R2 and Internet (will do) Change IP address scheme (will do). FYI I just threw a bunch of nodes on the screen. Will take any recommendations. Call me out. I'm trying to do more labs instead of just reading and watching videos all day.
So far I've watched all JITL videos (also did anki cards) even though he isn't finished. Started the OCG, Printed out a whold bunch of RFCs and Cisco documentation relating to BGP, EIGRP, ACLs, Multicasting, DHCP. u get the gist. I did go on a shopping haul recently and picked up 3 Cisco 3650 Catalyst Switches, 1 ASA 5506-X Firewall and 3 4300 Series Routers. Also a Dell PowerEdge R730xd server (which im running VMware ESXi on to host my VM for CML).
Currently I'm only using the firewall and switch once I get longer cables I plan to have everything running at the same time .(I know alot of noise) WHYY would u buy all of that. I really just want to get hands on experience with networking equipment and break stuff.
