BGP Class Lab Diagram and Configs

Lab Diagram for 2006 CCIE Lab

Some background, I wrote this CCIE bootcamp in 2006 to be taught by a few of our CCIE instructors. However, because I didn't really have the time to update the course we stopped using and partnered with other providers.  I post it here so that those of you who want to try your hand at doing some free labs have the ability to do so.  Good luck.

Here are the diagrams that go with the labs, be aware that you should probably draw your own.

Old CCIE Labs that I wrote a few years ago.
