You are usually late but your timing when we met was impeccable; I cannot imagine you not being in my life now Acknowledgments Martin James Duggan: This is my third opportunity to write for Cisco Press, so I would like to thank Brett Bartow for once again providing me with this enviable opportunity To Maurilio, who has reviewed this publication, I would like to say thank you for the time and experience you have put into this; you have shaped my work and I really value your contribution I’d like to thank my previous manager, Dave Mack I was very lucky to have you as a manager Dave; you gave me some really interesting projects, encouraged me with this book, and were a pleasure to work with To Pete Davison and Mike (mountain goat) Jones, my cycling buddies who never seem to get bored with me talking networks or cracking Jethro jokes when we manage to get out, either that or they wanted me out of breath for the hills To Richard Burbage, my oldest friend, your suggestion really helped me, I owe you one © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved This publication is protected by copyright Please see page 259 for more details Command Syntax Conventions The conventions used to present command syntax in this book are the same conventions used in the IOS Command Reference The Command Reference describes these conventions as follows: ■ Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown In actual configuration examples and output (not general command syntax), boldface indicates commands that are manually input by the user (such as a show command) ■ Italics indicate arguments for which you supply actual values ■ Vertical bars (|) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements ■ Square brackets [ ] indicate optional elements ■ Braces { } indicate a required choice ■ Braces within brackets [{ }] indicate a required choice within an optional element Introduction For more than ten years, the CCIE program has identified networking professionals with the highest level of expertise Less than percent of all Cisco certified professionals actually achieve CCIE status The majority of candidates that take the exam fail at the first attempt because they are not fully prepared; they generally find that their study plan did not match what was expected of them in the exam This practice exam has been designed to take you as close as possible to actually taking the real lab exam It will show whether you are ready to schedule your lab, or if you need to reevaluate your study plan Exam Overview The CCIE qualification consists of two exams, a 2-hour written exam followed by an 8-hour hands-on lab exam that now includes a troubleshooting section Written exams are computer-based, multiple choice exams lasting hours and available at hundreds of authorized testing centers worldwide The written exam is designed to test your theoretical © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved This publication is protected by copyright Please see page 259 for more details knowledge to ensure you are ready to take the lab exam; as such, you are only eligible to schedule the lab exam after you have passed the written exam Having purchased this publication, it is assumed that you have passed the written exam and are ready to practice for the lab exam The lab exam is a 1/2-hour, hands-on exam in which you are required to configure a series of complex scenarios in strict accordance to the questions; it’s tough but achievable Troubleshoot- ing is now included for hours, and you are also presented with a series of further questions for a 30-minutes period of the exam Current lab blueprint content information can be found on the following URL: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-4603 Scoring Point System In the actual exam a higher number of available points for certain questions would generally indicate that the required solution would take more time to achieve or that there would be multiple lines of configuration involved This practice lab closely echoes the scoring system in place in the actual exam If you find you are running short on time, try to get the smaller tasks completed and then return to the more complex questions Study Roadmap Taking the lab exam is all about experience; you can’t expect to take it and pass after just completing your written exam, relying on your theoretical knowledge You will need to spend countless hours of rack time configuring features and learning how protocols interact with one another To be confident enough to schedule your lab exam, review the following outlined points Assessing Your Strengths Using the content blueprint, determine your experience and knowledge in the major topic areas For areas of strength, practicing for speed should be your focus For weak areas, you might need training or book study in addition to practice © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved This publication is protected by copyright Please see page 259 for more details Study Materials Choose lab materials that provide configuration examples and take a hands-on approach Look for materials approved or provided by Cisco and its Learning Partners Hands-On Practice Build and practice your lab scenarios on a per-topic basis Go beyond the basics and practice additional features Learn the show and debug commands along with each topic If a protocol has multiple ways of configuring a feature, practice all of them Cisco Documentation CD Make sure you can navigate the Cisco documentation CD with confidence because this is the only resource you will be allowed during the lab (or restricted access to the same content on Cisco.com) Make the CD part of your regular study; if you are familiar with it, you can save time during the exam Home Labs Although acquiring a personal home lab is ideal, it can be costly to gather all the equipment you will need Cisco 360 Program The Cisco 360 Learning Program encompasses six stages of activity to support successful learning for students: Assessment: Students take a diagnostic pre-assessment lab to benchmark their knowledge of various networking topics Planning: Based on the pre-assessment, students create a learning plan that uses a mix of learning components to focus their study Learning: Students learn by participating in lessons and lectures, reading materials, and working with peers and instructors © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved This publication is protected by copyright Please see page 259 for more details Practice: Students use the practice exercises to apply learning on actual network equipment Mastery: Students measure their understanding by completing assessments of knowledge and skill for various approaches to solving network problems Review: Students review their work with a mentor or instructor and tune their skills with tips and best practices Detailed information on the 360 program can be found on the following URL: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/community/learning_center/cisco_360/360-rs Equipment List and IOS Requirements The lab exam tests any feature that can be configured on the equipment and the IOS versions indicated here: ■ 1841 Series routers—IOS 12.4(T) – Advanced Enterprise Services ■ 3825 Series routers—IOS 12.4(T) – Advanced Enterprise Services ■ Catalyst 3560 Series switches running IOS version 12.2—Advanced IP Services © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved This publication is protected by copyright Please see page 259 for more details ...
