Cisco CCIE360 R&S Advanced Workshop 2

CIERS-2 provides an intensive, hands-on experience that includes four 8-hour Cisco CCIE-level labs and one 4-hour CCIE-style lab. Delegates perform five Performance Assessment Labs on five separate days, establishing a performance trend that allows the learners to determine their level of readiness to attempt the actual Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching lab. 

After performing each of the five Performance Assessment Labs that are delivered in this course, learners receive detailed feedback on each section of the lab. This feedback includes a web-linked Score Card.

Delegates will be able to refine their end-to-end test-taking strategies and methods by applying these strategies and methods to five labs on five consecutive days. This approach helps to refine both time and stress-management techniques.

Delegates will need to bring their own laptops to this class as Cisco will provide the courseware electronically. Delegates should expect the days to be long.

Prerequisites

Attendees should meet the following prerequisites:

• Passed the CCIE R&S written exam 350-001(v4) or 400-101 (v5) 
• Completed Cisco Advanced Instructor-led Workshop I (CIERS-1) or its equivalent, or have recorded a strong attempt at the actual Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching lab. 
• Possess a solid understanding of the core technologies that are encountered in the Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching lab. These technologies include:Cisco CatalystSwitch baseline tasks, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2), route redistribution, and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

Objectives

After you complete this course you will be able to:

• Perform expert-level tasks involving both configuring and troubleshooting WAN technologies and switched Ethernet networks 
• Perform expert-level tasks involving both configuring and troubleshooting RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF 
• Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting route redistribution 
• Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting BGP 
• Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting MPLS Layer 3 VPNs 
• Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting IPv4 multicast 
• Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting IPv6 unicast and multicast connectivity 
• Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting router QoS using the MQC 
• Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series QoS 
• Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting IP services 

Target Audience

This course is designed for anyone who is in the final phase of preparation for the Cisco CCIE® Routing and Switching lab exam and who is within three to six weeks of the lab date. 

Certification

Recommended as preparation for : 

• The Cisco CCIE Practical Exam.

The CCIE lab exam is an eight-hour, hands-on exam which requires you to configure and troubleshoot a series of complex networks to given specifications. Knowledge of troubleshooting is an important skill and candidates are expected to diagnose and solve issues as part of the CCIE lab exam. You will not configure end-user systems, but are responsible for all devices residing in the network (hubs, etc.). Point values and testing criteria are provided.

Follow on Courses

The following courses and program components are recommended for further study:

• CCIE 360 R&S Practice Labs 
• CCIE 360 R&S Exercise Workbook 

Further Information

Certification candidates are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the topics in the exam blueprints and are strongly encouraged to have three to five years of job experience before attempting certification.

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

We strongly recommend that you take CIERS1 before attending CIERS2. We also recommend that you take this class three to six weeks prior to your CCIE lab exam.
