The Lab exam tests features that can be configured on the equipment and the software versions indicated in the document below. The software versions listed below will be in the lab setup. However, the list may be updated to a more recent release during the life cycle of v5.0 exam topics to maintain an updated lab environment.
Passing the lab exam requires a depth of understanding difficult to obtain without hands-on experience. Early in your preparation candidates should arrange access to equipment similar to that used on the exam.
