Volume 3 workbook - does anyone use it?
Howdy,
I have all 3 IE workbooks (and the COD). I have completed most of the chapters several times from Volume 1 (and viewed most of the COD). The next natural progression would seem to be to work on Volume 3 (4 hour labs). The only confusion I have is that no one seems to talk about Volume 3; only Volume 2 (8 hour labs).
My lab date is 60 days away and I don't know if I'll have time to complete them both. It's tough to try to balance work, life, family, sleep, sanity, etc...
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you!

Vol III workbook designed to help you build speed. All 10 labs cover only core topics (Bridging and Switching, IGP, Redistribution and BGP). In my opinion it's a great way to work on your speed building technique. Tasks are not too hard but they are the most common configurations you would run into. For example, setting up port-channel between switches (multiple ways to set up, ofcourse, but few things to mess up and then time lost while troubleshooting) ... also frame-relay (would be on ALL labs etc. Vol II are full scale labs covering all topics and you would normaly need more than 8 hours to finish (at least my expirence). Mixing them with Vol III will help with speed ....
My suggestion is to start of on Vol II first 5 labs (get the feel for full 8 hour labs), then do few labs from Vol III to see how you can improve your speed. Also, Anthony Sequiera did a great Open lecture series on Strategy (if you have purchased that product) so you can work on that as well while doing your labs.

yes..i used vol 3..for speed..and also redistribution..
if you notice the question, they are explaining how to prevent loop in redistribution..(that's where i found out)
try to finish one lab in 2 hours..then you will be fine when you faced the actual lab..
Here's a strategy for using both Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 simultaneously:

Hey Chris
Vol3 help so much to get rid for redistributions. I did only 7 labs from vol 2 and all the Mocks Lab 1-7, and all the Vol3. My approach was doing 1 vol 2 lab at during the day and 1 lab during night. About 12 days i took 3 mock labs, 5 vol2 labs, and 10 Vol3 labs, and I passed -:).
U have enough time to study, and please DOC CD due to OEQ.
