Recent changes to Cisco certification make it crucial for experienced network professionals to bridge the gap between CCNP Enterprise Core (350-401 ENCOR) knowledge and the deep hands-on expertise they need to succeed with their CCIE labs. In CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Foundation, world-renowned Cisco instructor and practitioner Narbik Kocharians helps you make this leap with confidence. Based on the authors industry-recognized CCIE prep classes, this progressive learning tool brings together:
- 40+ detailed labs for real gear and platform emulators
- Structured illustrations of protocol and feature operation
- Topic-specific labs to drive the theory home
- A full lab walkthrough of a complex configuration reflective of the actual CCIE
Following the same pattern as Kocharians CCIE Routing and Switching V5.1 Foundations, this guide covers both mature technologies and todays increasingly critical policy-based intent driven solutions. Step by step, youll learn how to:
- Discover the physical topology for any network deployment
- Work with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): both its foundations and advanced features
- Deploy and optimize PPP and use its full set of capabilities
- Implement Dynamic Multipoint VPNs (DMVPNs) from start to finish
- Use IP Prefix lists in prefix filtration, packet filtering, and other applications
- Handle any RIPv2 deployment scenario n Implement EIGRP, including classical and named operation modes and interoperation
- Use advanced OSPF techniques, including route filtration, LSA operation, stub configurations, and update filtering
- Understand what happens when you perform redistribution, and manage problematic scenarios
- Manage complex BGP capabilities, including Adjacency State Machine
- Operate IPv6 in complex network environments, including DMVPN
- Focus on QoS mechanisms that CCIE still covers, including traffic marking, classification, policing, and shaping
- Deploy IPsec VPN solutions including GRE/IPSec tunnel mode, multi-site VPN technologies, and their encryption
- Implement multicasting in environments requiring end-to-end IPv4 and IPv6 transport
- Address operational and deployment issues involving MPLS VPNv4 tunnels
By the time youre done, youll thoroughly understand these Cisco technologies and interactions, and be comfortable applying theory in any real-world environment and especially on your CCIE labs.
