Exercise Workbook
35 expert level advanced networking configuration scenarios
A key element to the Cisco 360 CCIE Preparation program is to have each student perform an extensive amount of hands-on practice with CCIE level scenarios. The Cisco 360 Exercise Workbook provides the content to attain the extensive hands-on practice required to attain a CCIE level of expertise. If it takes a student ten hours to perform each of the 35 labs in this workbook, this workbook will consume at least 250 hours of student hands-on practice time. This is at least five continuous 50 hour weeks of hands-on practice! This is why the Cisco 360 Exercise Workbook is called the "work horse" of the Cisco 360 CCIE Learning program.
The Cisco 360 Exercise Workbook consists of 35 full-length CCIE level scenarios that take about 8 to 10 hours to perform. Each of the 35 scenarios comes will a detailed answer and and interactive Mentor Guide support. The detailed answer keys are on average over 40 pages in length. They contain several detail diagrams. Virtuallly ever answer key includes a detailed diagram for:
- Catalyst Layer 2 Topology Layout
- Route Redistribution
- BGP
- IP Multicast
Another powerful tool that supports all 35 Exercise Workbook scenarios is the highly interactive Mentor Guide:
This Mentor Guide will allow each student to compare the final state of his or her pod with the output generated by the master answer key scripts. The Mentor Guide is also searchable. You can search all configurations from all Workbook scenarios to locate the use of a specific IOS configuration command in specific Workbook scenarios.
NOTE: This product does not include access to equipment that is required to perform these labs. This equipment must be purchased or rented separately from the sale of this Workbook.
