Features: This book is an authorized Cisco Systems book that covers the CCIE lab exam. The main purpose of this book is to help CCIE candidates prepare for the CCIE lab exam by completing numerous experiments. These experiments are designed to test candidates' ability to solve practical problems before referring to the answers. Many of the content in these experiments is highly challenging. If you haven't completed these experiments in a real-world environment, you may miss many details during the actual CCIE exam, potentially leading to failure. The book is structured following the OSI model and the hierarchical construction of networks from low to high. Part 1 primarily covers physical layer and basic router setup and access knowledge. Part 2, "Building the LAN Model," and Part 3, "Interconnecting LANs Using WANs," focus on the data link layer, while Part 4, "Routing Protocols," covers Layer 3 and Layer 4 content. Parts 5 and 6 introduce non-routing protocols, network control and access, and enhanced network protocols, respectively. Each part is followed by one or more complex experiments. Part 8 discusses the current CCIE lab exam, providing key learning points and tips to help candidates prepare for the exam. This part also includes 5 sets of CCIE exam simulation questions to give candidates a realistic exam experience. The primary audience for this book is network engineers who have at least obtained CCNA or CCDA certifications. These engineers should have a solid understanding of IP addressing and subnetting before reading this book. Additionally, having basic knowledge of Cisco routers and experience with basic router configuration will be very helpful for reading this book.
