This review is from: CISCO Interactive Mentor IP Routing: Distance-Vector Protocols (With CD-ROM) (CD-ROM)

This product offers a good psuedo-"hands-on" training in regards to RIP and other DVPs (It focuses almost excludively on RIP). The labs are well dsigned, but they can be a bit "lead-by-the-nose". I am currently preparing for my CCIE lab exam, and found the technical level of teh labs lacking. I would recommend it to those who need to refresh teh commands before the exam. I would have given it 3 stars, but then my wife sat down and tried it.

She has almost no networking expreince, though she is very well read on the subject. She has never touched a router, much les configured anything in one. She found the labs challenging and the course material well written. She learned quite a bit from this product. She says it derserves 4 STars.
