CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Foundation, 2nd Edition (Rough Cut)

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.
