Synopsis

Gain hands-on experience for the CCIE Lab Exam with volume two of the best-selling CCIE Practical Studies title from Cisco Press

• Experience putting concepts into practice with lab scenarios that guide you in applying what you know
• Learn how to build a practice lab for your CCIE lab exam preparation
• Take five full-blown practice labs that mimic the actual lab exam environment

CCIE Practical Studies, Volume II leads CCIE candidates through the process of preparing for the CCIE lab exam by presenting them with a series of challenging laboratory exercises. A perfect companion to the best-selling first edition, this book provides coverage of CCIE lab exam topics not covered in Volume I, like the Cisco Catalyst 3550, route maps, BGP, Multicast, and QoS. Combined with Volume I, the CCIE candidate will get comprehensive coverage of the routing and switching portions of the Routing and Switching, Security, and Service Provider lab exams.

The book begins with brief coverage of the core technologies required on the CCIE lab exam and includes suggested references for further reading. Laboratory exercises covering each of the core technologies follow, providing detailed guides to applying the technologies in real network settings. The final chapter of the book concludes with five hands-on lab exercises. These comprehensive practice labs include all of the technologies and gradually increase in difficulty level. They present readers with scenarios similar to what they will face on the actual lab exam. Study tips and test-taking techniques are included throughout the book.

The Cisco Systems(r) CCIE certification has long been recognized as the pinnacle of internetworking expertise, identifying those individuals with the skills and experience to tackle the most challenging problems in their field. To become CCIE certified, candidates must pass a rigorous lab examination that puts their practical configuration and problem resolution skills to the ultimate test. A perfect companion to the best-selling first volume, this text provides coverage of key CCIE exam topics. Prepare for the CCIE lab exams with five comprehensive CCIE practice lab scenarios Enhance your network deployment skills by examining the wealth of case studies and lessons in each chapter Take an in-depth look at the new Cisco 3550 intelligent switching platform, including Rapid and Multiple Spanning Tree Learn to use route maps and policy routing to change, influence, and control routing behavior Understand the application of multicast routing and switching Examine router performance management and QoS, including Cisco IOS(r) Software QoS technologies and ATM QoS, QoS integrated and differentiated services, and policing, shaping, and queuing traffic Configure and debug BGP, examine iBGP and eBGP implementations, advertise BGP networks, configure complex BGP policies, and integrate BGP with Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) CCIE Practical Studies, Volume II, picks up where the first volume left off, guiding you through the requirements of the one-day lab exam by providing practical lab exercises designed to model complex routing and switching solutions. These lab scenarios help you master the broad scope of technologies needed to succeed on the CCIE lab exams and provide you with a solid foundation of knowledge that you can apply to your everyday job as an internetworking expert. Serving the dual role of expert-level internetworking reference and CCIE lab exam preparation tool, CCIE Practical Studies, Volume II, focuses attention on key routing, QoS, and switching topics. The book extends the coverage of the Catalyst(r) family of switches by focusing on the new Catalyst 3550 intelligent Ethernet switch. It extends coverage of IP routing protocols with detailed discussions of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The book also examines QoS, IP multicast, route maps and policy-based routing, and performance management. Each chapter contains technology overviews coupled with lab scenarios that demonstrate practical application of the technology. The book concludes with a final section containing complete lab scenarios that integrate the concepts and technologies covered earlier in the book. These comprehensive labs mimic the types of scenarios candidates face on the actual one-day lab exam. CCIE Practical Studies, Volume II, is part of a recommended study program from Cisco Systems that includes simulation and hands-on training from authorized Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.
