Anytime, anywhere self-paced CCIE skills assessment Practice Networking Skills
With CIM CCIE(r) Expert Labs: IP Routing, you can evaluate advanced level IP routing configurations to prepare for the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) practical exam. These same skills can be applied to your job to maximize the performance of your network and deploy Cisco devices and software more effectively. Offering a series of self-paced Expert Labs, this robust practice tool gives you a quick and cost-effective way to improve your existing Cisco knowledge and expertise. Similar to the lab scenarios in the intensive CCIE practical exam, you can practice and assess your understanding of IP routing protocols as you build a network design in a step-by-step process. Applying networking techniques developed by CCIE professionals to multiple internetworking configurations, you'll practice improving your configuration and troubleshooting skills in Frame Relay, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
Interactive Simulation Environment
CIM CCIE Expert Labs: IP Routing places you in a simulated networking environment without the need for actual Cisco routers. You work with virtual Cisco internetworking devices, developing your networking skills without the costly investment in actual network hardware. On screen with each Telnet session are simulated lab scenarios involving a complex network configuration that challenges you to apply your networking skills before proceeding to the next exercise. These lab exercises build upon one another as new IP protocols and new predefined network topologies are introduced, allowing you to verify and troubleshoot your IP configurations.
Anytime, Anywhere, Self-Paced Practice
You control the pace of learning. As you work through each lab scenario, you can access a variety of lab tools to assist you as needed. Each lab scenario provides you instant access to the simulator's context-sensitive help, step-by-step audio configuration guides, configuration command references, and network topology diagrams. Excerpts from the book Cisco CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design and Case Studies supplement your knowledge of the topics in the lab, and a Last Resort help feature displays the full lab solution for additional guidance. This robust combination of simulated lab exercises, descriptive networking topologies, audio and video guides, and hyperlinked references results in a superior product and provides you with what matters most-hands-on networking experience.
