CCIE Routing and Switching v5.1 Foundations: Bridging the Gap Between CCNP and CCIE
English
By (author): Narbik Kocharians
CCIE-level Cisco routing and switching guide for every CCNP
Preparing for the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam typically involves deep and lengthy study. But if you already possess the Cisco CCNP Routing and Switching certification, you already know much of what youll need to succeed on CCIEs labs. This book will help you quickly bridge your remaining knowledge gaps and make the most of everything you already know.
CCIE Routing and Switching v5.1 Foundations addresses every segment of the CCIE R&S Version 5 blueprint, helping you focus your study where it will do the most good: intense hands-on practice to deepen your current knowledge and thorough explanations of theoretical topics you havent yet encountered.
Based on the authors industry-recognized CCIE prep classes, it includes 40+ detailed labs for real gear and platform emulators; structured illustrations of protocol and feature operation; and topic-specific labs to drive the theory home. It includes a full lab walkthrough of a complex configuration reflective of the actual CCIEensuring that you thoroughly understand the technologies and interactions youre reading about.
