Six comprehensive CCIE routing and switching labs to hone configuration and troubleshooting skills

Prepare for the CCIE lab exams and hone your configuration and troubleshooting skills with six complete practice scenarios that cover:

  • Frame Relay configuration
  • 3550 switch configuration
  • ATM PVC and SVC configuration
  • IP routing protocol configuration, including RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS
  • Route redistribution
  • IBGP and EBGP configuration
  • IP multicast
  • Security
  • IP and IOS features
  • DLSw over Ethernet
  • Voice over IP

The CCIE program is designed to help individuals, companies, industries, and countries succeed in the networked world by distinguishing the top echelon of internetworking experts. CCIE candidates must not only demonstrate knowledge of a broad range of subject matter at an advanced level but also prove their ability to analyze complex problems and pose solutions in time critical settings. CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs provides a series of complete practice labs that mirror the difficult CCIE hands-on lab exam. Written by a CCIE program manager and a CCIE engineer, this book lays out six unique end-to-end scenarios that are both complex and realistic, providing you with the practice needed to prepare for your lab examination and develop critical-thinking skills that are essential for resolving complex, real-world routing and switching problems.

CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs does not waste time covering conceptual knowledge found in other manuals but focuses exclusively on six complex scenarios. The structure of each chapter is the same, covering a broad range of topics. Each chapter starts with a set of pre-lab tasks and general guidelines that outline instructions for each exercise. This is followed by the timed practice exam questions. Each chapter then wraps up with an Ask the Proctor section that provides hints and clues to the solutions and a Lab Debrief, which analyzes the answer to each question. The companion CD-ROM contains solutions for all of the labs, including configurations and common show command output from all the devices in the topology.

"This book possesses solid and practical guidance for anyone pounding away at the keyboard whether it is for the pursuit of the CCIE or the pursuit of the source of a real problem."
-Kathe Saccenti, CCIE Product Manager, Cisco Systems, Inc.

CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs is part of a customized learning path from Cisco Systems that includes simulation and hands-on training from authorized Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.

Companion CD-ROM
CD contains the solutions to the six complete lab scenarios in the book including configurations and show command output.

This volume is part of the Cisco Press Practical Studies Series, which offers readers a means to apply their theoretical knowledge through hands-on lab scenarios for key networking technologies. This unique approach enables readers to practice and hone their internetworking skills while preparing for Cisco certification exams.

2.0 out of 5 stars Times have changed ...., May 24, 2006

Net Admin / Home Chef (Sterling, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs (Hardcover)
Since the CCIE R & S lab changed in January, lots of things in this book are no longer on the current exam. That includes Voice over IP, ATM, DLSW and ISDN. Given that most people don't have ATM switches or ISDN simulators in their home labs anyway, that makes a good bit of this book no longer relevent to exam prep. Pretty expensive renting an on-line rack to practice technologies not on the exam any more. It would be alot of work to re-write the labs yourself to take out the stuff no longer tested. For example, you could replace ATM pvcs with frame relay pvcs, but then you would need to redefine the solutions yourself,also.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 excellent labs + 3 average labs, November 15, 2004
By 
Ubik Sven (Czech Republic) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs (Hardcover)
The first three out of the total six sample labs in the book are
excellent in that they include the right type of traps that can
be in the real CCIE exam. I suggest that you first buy R&S
workbook from www.internetworkexpert.com. Their R&S workbook
includes 20 sample labs covering broader range of topics than
this book. The solutions are first discussed in great detail,
with more left to the reader in the following labs. After you are
familiar with all topics in the R&S workbook, go to the first
three labs in this book. They will show you how carefully you
must read each question and how much laterally you must think
when finding the correct solution. When you move to the lab 4,
you will notice that something has changed. The remaining three
labs are much reasier than the first three labs and contain
errors in their solutions. As the book has two authors, it is
possible that each author wrote one half of the book. However,
the first three labs are so useful that I found the book a good
investment. Sven Ubik, CCIE#14053.

5.0 out of 5 stars Add This book to you study Material, January 13, 2005
This review is from: CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs (Hardcover)
CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs


My review of this book is in accordance to the Cisco NDA, I will not provide information that might be construed as even being close to the NDA.

With that said as someone that has attempted the CCIE lab in San Jose I feel that I can provide a good review of this book to those of you that haven't attempted the lab. The lab requires you to have a solid understanding of numerous technologies in order to pass. Add to that the fact that you have a time limit and other little favors from Cisco and your having a blast. You need to know what to expect and if you are up to speed on technologies that can appear in the lab.

This book is written by CCIE's from Cisco Systems™ that are an integral part of the CCIE program. This book provides the reader with 6 lab scenarios that help test the knowledge. The book tells you to read the entire lab before beginning, this is pretty much one of the golden rules of the CCIE lab. The labs contain points for each section of the lab to allow the reader the option of picking what needs to be accomplished in order to pass the lab. The point system alone makes this book worthwhile.

The Ask the Proctor section in each lab is ok. It tries to direct your thought process in the correct direction. I'm not a big fan of this section it reminds me of the real Proctors in the lab. They can help in some instances and keep you confused in others. The addition of this section while probably not the most popular is what sets this book apart from other lab preparation material.

The Lab debrief sections at end of each lab is an incredible tool that helps the reader fully understand what was being asked for each requirement during the lab. This has to be the most indispensable part of this book. It helps separate this book from the rest of the preparation tools on the market. You should buy this book just for this section.

In closing my review this book is a valuable tool that can help the reader see if they are up to CCIE Caliber. I am glad that I added this resource to my personal library.
