My Lab Server – 32Cores and 128GB RAM, 4TB SSD, Single Ethernet Card.
I have other Server where i am running only DNAC for hands on, that is UCS Server.
here is the DNAC installation Blog – https://www.balajibandi.com/?p=2515
Most of the Lab can be achieved 95% using Virtuals, Depends on what resource you have, you can use IOL image instead of vIOS and CSR1000v, you can only use CSR1000v only where required (the features not available on IOL)
I use Combination of PNETLabs or CML 2.8 for my practice, also used VM Like DNAC and ISE 3.X
One should be planning for the Lab attempt and strategy to crack the Lab success, Do IP address is very important, Lab Practice will guide what IP addressing used in the Lab for the Management.
Look around in the internet for the Lab network Diagram for the CCIE SEC v1 Lab you find plenty of Lab topology available how the Lab Looks like. Due to non-disclosure i am not going to post in my Blog that diagrams.
Design section will be 32Q – 3 hours, No carry forward time even if you finish early.
DOO Section 4 Sections – 5 hours, You attempt any section, some section need to be done order to get correct outcome – Example you need to have ASA configured for the Remote Access VPN to work.
