Any student may purchase vLab sessions through the Store. If you are enrolled in the Cisco library, your subscription includes 16 free vLab sessions. These sessions are organized around the Online Instructor-Led ICND course. As these sessions have been hand-picked to support the Online Instructor-Led ICND course, we recommend that these sessions be used with this or similar courses.
If you are currently enrolled in the Computer Professional, Hardware and Networking Operating System or MCSE library, you have the ability to enhance your subscription with 14 pre-selected labs to provide a broad-based exposure on the subject matter and to lay the foundation of fundamental knowledge needed for Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. These labs are listed in the Store as the "Starter Pack."
After you purchase a vLab session, you will see the vLabs exercises link on your My Courses page. This link takes you to your vLab Locker where you can view, schedule and plan your labs. Please note that it's important to schedule your vLab exercises ahead of time to ensure that the network equipment will be available for your use.
