Tech Library

Tech Library — Demo Page

The NMC Technical Library is an expansive repository of technical information that includes a wide range of information on topics that can be found in the Routing and Switching CCIE® lab.

  • It is structured in a manner that reflects the learning approach of CCIE® preparation promoted by NetMasterClass. For example, all link-layer protocols are grouped under the heading "Universal Connectivity on a Per Link Basis" and all IGP's are grouped under the heading "Universal Connectivity on a per IGP Basis".
  • Many of the articles in the Technical Library contain Decision-Diagrams to help CCIE® candidates visualize all of their configuration options for a specific technology. Complementing the Decision Diagrams, Checklists assist CCIE® candidates in configuring specific technology as well as making them aware of the technology's limitations and vulnerabilities.
  • In total the NMC Technical Library is composed of over 200 articles that are easily web accessible and searchable.
Note: The Technical Library is not intended to be a complete replacement for books that you need to read or our classes that we suggest you to attend. Though it is a very good supplementary material that a lot of CCIE candidates find helpful.
I took the R&S test (first attempt) and passed. I also want you to know that even though I left the NMC class somewhat on par with the class, picking up a few pointers and learning IPV6, I felt afterwards that the MyLib was very informative and more importantly for me, the DOiTs in-line with what I needed most. — Cheney Nattress CCIE R&S # 15200
