Morning,
Last week I attended the ECMS 2 and found it to be a brilliant course.
It has encouraged me to go for the 500-220 ECMS exam.
Im now looking to build out a Lab and have looked at the Lab guide on the Meraki Study portal. However, the equipment they suggest is REALLY expense. Do I need to go with the exact equipment in the study guide or can I use other Meraki equipment?
Thanks
Solved! Go to solution.
@RonJackson : Try for the free labs on Cisco Cloud
@RonJackson : Try for the free labs on Cisco Cloud
That's great, I will take a look. Thank you @Inderdeep
Is this a subscription service?
Ron
@RonJackson : These are free labs no subscription required, you just need cisco login credentials. Good Luck !
Thats fantastic. Thank you very much!
I think you need to be a Cisco-partner to schedule slots in dCloud.
Yeah, I think thats the case. I can only access Demo mode and not actually configure anything sadly. Back to the drawing board.
Then I would suggest:
Yes, will be expensive just for a lab ...
Well if you want dedicated lab for full access, then sure i am with @KarstenI
I think you’re correct @KarstenI. It’s more for demo purposes
Thanks Inder, I will check out the fee labs. In my role, I just use specific devices for the project . so was thinking about purchasing kit. But rather expensive with licenses added ontop.
@@MLPillai146 I too am studying for the ECMS 1 exam and have looked at the option of building my own lab. I found equipment I could get, but yikes! The licensing is very expensive. In my role at work I only have view access in our dashboard and not able to actually practice anything in the course.
We talked about setting up a practice lab or a sandbox with some extra equipment we have, however I think they decided not to due to licensing, etc I am looking for affordable licensing options currently.
