Having finally completed the build for my home CCIE lab, I am extremely proud to present it to the Internet!
Having spent 95% of my training time on rack rentals, GNS3, and WebIOU while at my initial tenure at Cisco, I can now safely say that I can practice on real equipment whenever I want, however I want.
I’ll have an additional post for the approximate costing of the total setup, but for now, here are two very amateurish photographs that display the unruly cabling due to lack of racking equipment and cable management tools which are sadly out of budget at this stage!
