An important key to success on the BCMSN exam lies in obtaining hands-on experience, especially with the Cisco IOS in the LAN and WAN environments. There is simply no substitute for time spent installing, configuring, troubleshooting, securing, and optimizing a Cisco router and switch. If you cannot afford your own equipment or lack the access at work, you can check with companies on the Internet that rent router time. Some even provide written labs specific to the BCMSN exam. Even www.ebay.com has many hardware packages at auction that you can bid on.
