Summary
Internetwork Expert's CCIE workbooks and class-on-demands have been used by thousands of networking engineers to help prepare for multiple tracks of the CCIE Lab Exam. Although the success of our workbooks speaks for themselves we would like to highlight a few key points you should consider when selecting a training provider:
- Which vendor's materials are used by more candidates to pass the CCIE Lab exam?
- Which vendor's materials are developed from the ground up by the authors you know and trust?
- Which vendor's materials include a free upgrade policy such as our exclusive Investment Protection Program to ensure you always have the most up to date materials?
Are you looking to isolate your CCIE lab preparation on an individual topic basis? Tired of spending hours setting up a lab topology? Are you weak on a specific topic like QoS, and want to see what the different variations of its configuration are? Look no further, Internetwork Expert's CCIE Service Provider Lab Workbook Volume I is your key to success!
Overview
Internetwork Expert's CCIE Service Provider Lab Workbook Volume I presents the topics covered in the CCIE Service Provider Lab Exam in an easy to follow, goal-oriented step-by-step approach. By isolating each topic on its own you are able to see firsthand the various ways to configure each technology, and what the specific implications of a configuration are. By understanding these fundamental operations of the protocols you will be able to predict advanced and sometimes subtle interactions when the various technologies are configured together.
Content
The workbook Labs contain hands-on individually focused labs that present topics in an easy to follow, goal-oriented step-by-step approach. The labs are used to isolate topics on their own allowing candidates to see firsthand the various ways to configure each technology, and what the specific implications of a configuration are. By understanding these fundamental operations of the protocols candidates will be able to predict advanced and sometimes subtle interactions when the various technologies are configured together.

The CCIE Service Provider Lab Workbook Volume II consists of 10 full-scale lab scenarios designed from the ground up based on Cisco Systems' newest specification for the CCIE Service Provider Lab Exam. The labs contained in the workbook are designed to simulate the actual CCIE Service Provider Lab Exam and at the same time illustrate the principles behind the technologies which it covers.
Full-Scale Lab Content
Like the actual CCIE Service Provider Lab Exam each of the full-scale lab scenarios contained in Internetwork Expert's CCIE Service Provider Lab Workbook Volume II are designed to be configured within an 8 hour time frame, and are on average 15 - 17 pages in length. These labs are not 5 or 6 page mini-labs as you will see in other workbook products on the market. In addition to this, each full-scale lab scenario in the workbook covers a wide range of topics similar to the actual CCIE Lab Exam, and is divided into 10 general technology sections.
These sections are:
- Layer 2 Technologies
- Interior Gateway Routing
- Exterior Gateway Routing
- MPLS
- VPN
- IP Multicast
- QoS
- Security
- System Management
- IP Services

Point Scale
Like the actual CCIE lab exam, each lab scenario contained in the CCIE Service Provider Lab Workbook Volume II consists of various sections totaling 100 points. Each task within the lab is assigned a specific point value. Points are only awarded if the presented solution meets all the given requirements, and does not violate any preset restrictions. No partial credit is awarded for any task. A minimum score of 80 points is required to 'pass' a particular scenario. This design allows the labs in the CCIE Service Provider Lab Workbook Volume II to be used as mock lab exams simulating the conditions of the actual CCIE Service Provider Lab Exam.
Product Overview:
At your convenience, join our highly certified team of CCIE instructors for a comprehensive look at lab exam blueprint topics. The CCIE Service Provider Advanced Technologies Class is presented on-screen using a sequence of slides, lectures, explanations, diagrams, and live command-line viewing. This 40+ hour class is presented in an easy to follow format and allows you to choose from a variety of convenient study methods.
Learning Outcomes:
The extreme level of detail covered by this course will provide you with a firm foundation in the CCIE lab blueprint topics and prepare you for practicing full-scale lab exams in our Service Provider Lab Workbooks!
Recommended Background:
Because introductory material is not covered, candidates for this class should already have a CCNP/CCIP or equivalent level-of-knowledge. This class will also benefit CCIE candidates who have attempted the actual CCIE Lab Exam without passing and feel they need to take their knowledge and understanding of such crucial topics as IGP and BGP routing, MPLS implementations, Layer 3 and Layer 2 VPNs, SP-level Multicast and Security to the next level before attempting the CCIE Lab again.

Internetwork Expert's CCIE Service Provider Core Knowledge Simulation is designed to help prepare candidates for the newly added Core Knowledge section of the Service Provider CCIE Lab Exam. This Core Knowledge section was formerly referred to as the "Open Ended Questions". This new section of the exam, added January 4, 2010, consists of four computer based, short-answer questions which candidates have 30 minutes to complete.
Unlike traditional written exams, the Core Knowledge questions are not multiple choice, but instead require a short answer to be manual typed out by the candidate. Additionally, this section must be completed before proceeding onto the traditional configuration portion of the exam; candidates may not return to the short answer questions once they have begun the configuration portion of the exam; and no additional resources such as the Cisco documentation are available during the section. Most importantly, this section is manually graded by the exam proctors as pass or fail only. Candidates who answer more than one question incorrectly in the Core Knowledge section automatically fail the entire lab exam, even if they passed the other sections of the exam!
Our Core Knowledge Simulation offers a specifically targeted way to prepare for this new section. This product consists of a large (and frequently updated) database of short answer questions in which candidates must manually enter their responses to the questions. Unlike other traditional testing engines, these questions are not multiple choice, so no blind guessing is possible.
The product is accessible through your online account, and requires Adobe Flash Player and a live internet connection to use.

What is the difference between the printed and electronic versions?
With the printed version you will receive the workbook professionally printed along with 20 full color laminated diagrams. The Class-on-Demand will be shipped to you on DVD. Additionally with the printed version you will get access to the electronic version FREE OF CHARGE! If your order is placed before 3PM PDT (-7 GMT) you will received access the same day!
The electronic version is exactly the same as the printed version with the exception of the fact the workbook, solutions and diagrams are Adobe PDF format; and the videos are viewable online rather than on DVD. With the electronic version you can save the workbooks PDF files locally to your computer, use them offline and even print them out. There are not any restrictions on the PDF with regards to how many times you can print it.
