IPexpert Voice Workbook Vol 1
Posted by James on Tue 29 Jul 2008Categories: CCIE , Cisco , Cisco VOIP - [2] Comments
This past weekend began working through workbook Vol 1 and was able to get a lot of good studying in. Section one is Basic Campus Design. Most of the tasks asked were things I have worked on over the past several months and really have no issues with. Configuring proper vlans, dot1q trunks, Microsoft DHCP, IOS DHCP, NTP on routers, switches, and callmanagers, auto-register phones to callamanager, and register CME phones. I was able to complete all required tasks in a fairly quick amount of time.
I decided to skip section 2 for the time being and go on to section three, CME Fundamentals. I then spent most of my time over the weekend reviewing CME and SRST fundamental tasks. These included COR (both in CME and SRST), different phone configurations, CME GUI administration, paging, call block, and transcoding. I completed all tasks in section three and then worked through the CME sections of some of my other workbooks. I was also able to watch all of the CME, SRST CoD as well as listen to the entire CME audio lecture. All in all, it was a very productive weekend.

I am currently studying for my CCIE Voice lab as well and I am also using the IPExpert BLS. I was just wondering what you where using to do the exercises in workbook 1? Did you use Proctor Labs or do you have the equipment?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
I have a voice lab at work which includes everything but a 6503 switch and a vg248. I use rack time from both Proctor labs and CCBootcamp when I work on configurations for those devices I do not have. I have several sessions with Proctor Labs and plan on using them the last month before my exam to work through all of the vol 3 labs.
