CCIE Service Provider Boot Camp (CCIESP) v4.0 is a 10-day workshop exploring skills required of a Network Engineer to design, configure, optimize, diagnose, and troubleshoot a complex highly available Service Provider network infrastructure. Candidates preparing for CCIE Service Provider certification possess thorough knowledge in IPv4 and IPv6 core, aggregation/edge, remote access technologies, Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs, plus managed services traversing an IP core networks. They also have an overall knowledge in security, virtualization and mobility technologies.
Prerequisites:
- There are no formal prerequisites for Cisco CCIE certification. Candidates must first pass a written qualification exam and then pass the corresponding hands-on lab exam. Candidates are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the exam topics and are strongly encouraged to have three to five years of job experience before attempting certification.
Course Objectives:
- This boot camp is a combination of lecture and hands-on labs.
