I’m excited to announce that a new update to my CCIE Wireless Lab Essentials video series has been released. This release actually starts a new version of the lab essentials product. The good news is that all current and future owners of the lab essentials video series will have both the original version and the new version available to them. So nobody will lose out on anything. The original version will be referenced as v2.0 and the new version will be referenced as v2.1.
The new v2.1 series will be released in stages. The first section released is the Network Infrastructure section. It contains nearly 11 hours of video detailing just about everything that you will need to know about configuring the switches in the lab. This is nearly double the number of hours for the same section as compared to v2.0. As you can imagine, it covers more topics and gets into more detail.
So why release an update to a product that has already been well received? There are two main drivers for the update. First, I wanted to have a video series that was more complete. The original version was taken from a bootcamp class that I did a while back. Due to the time constraints of a weeklong class, I couldn’t dig into every last topic. So creating a dedicated self-study series allows me the ability to devote as much time as needed to cover all of the topics that I want. Second, I am also re-writing workbook 1 (look for the first section soon). I wanted to be able to have a workbook/video combination where all topics in the workbook are addressed in a video and vice versa. Basically have products working together harmoniously.
The first section of the new v2.1 video series should be in your account now if you owned the Lab Essentials Video product before. I hope to have new sections release every month or so. Next up will be AnyConnect and ACS. Enjoy!
