CCIE Routing & Switching Preparation Theory Course

This course is specifically intended for network administrators and technicians who wish to obtain this qualification.

• Confidently sit the CCIE Routing & Switching Theory Exam 350 001
• Detail the theory behind configuring complex Routing and Switching networksHave an enhanced knowledge of Cisco Routing & Switching technology and methodology
• Have an enhanced knowledge of Cisco Routing & Switching technology and methodology

Cisco Device Operation

• Commands Hardware Components, and Router Operations

General Networking Theory

• General Routing Concepts (Split horizon, Link state, difference between switching and routing, Summarization, Link state vs. Distance vector, loops, Tunneling)
• Standards (802.x, cable specs, protocol limitations)
• Protocol Mechanics (Windowing/ACK, fragmentation, MTU, handshaking, termination)

Bridging and LAN Switching

• Transparent, SRB, LAN Switching, LANE, Security (FRACL, RACL, Private VLANS)

IP and IPv6

• Addressing, Services (DNS, BOOTP, DHCP, ICMP), Applications (telnet, FTP, TFTP), Transport (IP fragmentation, sockets, ports), ACLs

IP Routing (Metrics, Mechanics, Design and Troubleshooting)

• OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS, IGRP, RIP, RIPv2
• ACLs
• DDR

Desktop Protocols

• IPX (NLSP, IPX-RIP/SAP, IPX-EIGRP, SPX, NCP, IPXWAN, IPX addressing, GNS, NDS (routing & mechanisms), ACLs)
• Windows/NT (NetBIOS, browsing, domain controller [e.g. WINS], ACLs)

QoS

Security

• AAA, TACACS, RADIUS, IPsec , Encryption (public/private key, DES)

Multiservice

• Voice/Video (H323), codecs, SS7, RTP, RTCP, SIP,MPLS

IP Multicast

• IGMP/CGMP (IGMPv1, IGMPv2, Designated Querier)
• Addressing (Group addresses, Admin Group, Link-local L3-to-L2 Mapping)
• Distribution Trees (Shared Trees, Source Trees)
• PIM-SM Mechanics (Joining, Pruning PIM State, Mroute table)
• Rendezvous Points (Auto-RP, BSR)

After passing the he CCIE Routing & Switching Theory exam, delegates should attend the CCIE Core Technologies Practical Lab Preparation before attempting the CCIE Routing & Switching Lab exam.
