The Internetwork Expert End-to-End CCIE Routing & Switching Program is designed for candidates who want a structured approach to the CCIE Routing & Switching certification. This program is targeted toward the serious candidate that is willing to invest both the time and effort to pass the CCIE lab and become a true Internetwork Expert.

The Self-Paced (IEE2E-RS-S) option is for candidates who are self-motivated and have a tight schedule for study. The delivery format of this program allows you to work through our materials at your leisure. All of our R&S workbooks are included, and all classes come in recorded format.

The IE End-to-End CCIE Routing & Switching Program consists of three tiers, or stages, of preparation:

Tier One - Learning the Technologies

The first tier of the program, Learning the Technologies, is where CCIE candidates obtain a true understanding of CCIE-level technologies. This tier focuses on how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot both core and advanced CCIE technologies. Keep in mind that this tier is not "Introduction to Networking" of any sorts; Candidates are assumed to already have a CCNP level of knowledge and experience of the topics covered at this level. It is vital that students gain a solid CCIE level of understanding of the topics covered at this tier as these technologies are the building blocks for the real CCIE Lab Exam. Attempting the CCIE Lab without mastering this knowledge leaves the candidate with no realistic chance of passing the exam.

Tier Two - Applying the Technologies

The second tier of the program, Applying the Technologies, is where CCIE candidates are tested on the skills they have accumulated throughout their preparation. This level is for networking professionals that are almost ready for the actual CCIE Lab Exam, but are looking for final preparation before The Big Day. Topics at this tier are designed to push your problem-solving skills and technological know-how to its limits.

Tier Three - Preparation for the Lab

The third tier of the program is designed to prepare CCIE candidates for the actual CCIE Lab Exam experience.  Candidates are immersed in Bootcamps, Workshops and Lab simulations as their final preparation before The Big Day.

CCIE Program Technologies

Topics within the Internetwork Expert End-to-End CCIE Routing & Switching Program are divided into three technology domains. These domains are Layer 2 Technologies, Routing Protocols, and QoS/Security/Services.

Layer 2 Technologies

The first technology domain, Layer 2 Technologies, covers the Layer 2 Protocols that are within the scope of the CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Exam. These topics include, but are not limited to:

• Ethernet Switching
• Frame Relay
• HDLC
• PPP

Routing Protocols

The second technology domain, Routing Protocols, covers all topics related to IP unicast and multicast routing. These topics include, but are not limited to:

• General IP Routing
• RIP (v1/v2/ng)
• EIGRP
• OSPF (v2/v3)
• BGP
• IP Multicast Routing

QoS / Security / Services

The third technology domain, QoS/Security/Services, covers all other miscellaneous topics that are not directly related to Layer 2 Technologies or IP unicast and multicast routing. These topics include, but are not limited to:

• QoS
• IOS Security (Traffic Filtering, Authentication, Authorization, etc.)
• IOS Management (SNMP, RMON, NTP, etc.)
• IP Features (DHCP, DNS, NAT, etc.)

Each of the above technology domains includes both the IPv4 and IPv6 functionality. By clearly defining which topics fall into which category it makes it easier to survey what topics you have a sound understanding of and which topics you need to focus on in your preparation. This approach leads to more focused preparation, which ultimately results in a savings of both time and money.

Tier One - Learning the Technologies

The first tier of the Internetwork Expert End-to-End CCIE Routing & Switching Program, Learning the Technologies, is the foundation of our entire program. At this level a true understanding of the nature of the technologies covered in the CCIE R&S Lab Exam is obtained. It is essential that the topics covered at this level are learned before progressing further, as the topics at this level are the building blocks for the CCIE lab. Do not mistake products at this level as "Introduction to Networking", as at least a CCNP level of knowledge of the topics covered here is required before using products at this level.

The products that make up this tier are as follows:

CCIE R&S Advanced Technologies Class Online (IEATC-RS-ONL)

The CCIE Routing & Switching Advanced Technologies Class Online (IEATC-RS-ONL) is a two-week self-paced and instructor-led combination class series delivered through our state-of-the-art online classroom.
