The learners must possess an expert level knowledge of WAN and LAN technologies and related skills in
configuring Cisco IOS features on a variety of Cisco routers and LAN switches, comparable to Cisco Certified Network
Professional (CCNP) designation. This level of experience can be obtained by taking the courses from the Cisco CCNP
curriculum (BSCI, BCRAN, BCMSN, and CIT) and by using the related remote labs to get the required skills. Taking some
advanced courses (such as BGP, CISIS, QOS, MCAST) and associated remote labs is an additional benefit and highly recommended.
Course content
Course contents,
benefits and positioning The CCIE Routing & Switching Bootcamp - Refresher course provides
the CCIE R&S candidates with the knowledge needed in the practice lab and consequently in the daily
activities of a CCIE engineer. The course is based on the Cisco "Preparing for the CCIE Routing and Switching Lab"
materials and allows the students to refresh their theoretical knowledge of diverse internetworking technologies
and to focus on specifics as required for the CCIE R&S designation.
The course provides the students with details on WAN technologies such as Frame relay, ATM and dial-up
(ISDN) environment as well as with LAN switching technologies, specifically based on the Catalyst 3550 family
of products. All interesting interior routing protocols, including RIP, EIGRP and OSPF are assessed and the
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is described in details. Advanced routing techniques, such as route redistribution,
route control, route authentication and static routing are presented as well. The course contains an intensive module
on bridging, including the Data Link Switching Plus (DLSW+). IP multicasting, as well as other IP services and high
availability features are explained: Network Time Protocol (NTP), Network Address Translation (NAT), Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocols (DHCP), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP). The course concludes with refresher of security
technologies, Voice over IP (VoIP) features and Quality of Service (QoS) concepts.
Although the course is especially tailored for CCIE R&S applicants, this course also provides intensive knowledge
acceleration for specialists who seek an advanced further education.
Course Objectives
After completing this course the student should be able to:
Use diverse networking technologies to deploy complex internetworking solutions
Configure an entire range of technologies and features available in Cisco IOS
Monitor and troubleshoot networking technologies as implemented in Cisco IOS
The course is of utmost importance for CCIE R&S candidates who like to
quickly refresh their theoretical knowledge of internetworking technologies and identify specifics required by
the CCIE R&S designation. The course is targeted at CCIE R&S candidates as well as all individuals seeking an
expert level of knowledge and skills in internetworking.
