CCIE 360 Routing & Switching Prep Boot Camp 1 (CIERS1) — A 5-day course

 Open Public Course Closed In-House Course

Overview

This intensive Boot Camp-style course is designed to help the CCIE Routing & Switching candidate determine exactly where they are in their process of preparing for the CCIE R&S practical exam and to fill technology gaps through lecture and labs.

The class is approximately 60% lecture and 40% hands-on labs. Upon completion of the technology lecture that includes best practices for applying the technology, you will complete labs based on that technology. At the end of the class, you will perform an eight-hour graded CCIE-level practice lab. Additionally, you will learn how to develop study plans and how to develop and use checklists and decision diagrams to formulate the mindset needed to pass the CCIE lab. With this information stored in your online portal, you can review the material covered in the CIERS1 class as frequently as you wish.

This class is just one part of the Cisco 360 Learning Program for CCIE Routing and Switching,an immersive and comprehensive educational suite designed to build expert-level skills, not merely deliver a passing CCIE exam score.

Course Objectives

After completing this training course the student will have a detailed understanding of the following topics:

• Frame Relay
• Catalyst 3550 and 3560 Switch Configuration
• OSPF
• EIGRP
• RIP v2
• IGP Route Redistribution
• Controlling IGP Updates with Route Maps and Distribute Lists
• Configuring BGP-4 Neighbor Relationships (including Route Reflectors and Confederations)
• Filtering BGP Updates using Prefix Lists, AS Path Access Lists, Communities, and Route Maps
• BGP Attribute Manipulation
