Are you looking to isolate your CCIE lab preparation on an individual topic basis? Tired of spending hours setting up a lab topology? Are you weak on a specific topic like QoS, and want to see what the different variations of its configuration are? Look no further, Internetwork Expert's CCIE Service Provider Lab Workbook Volume I is your key to success!
Overview
Internetwork Expert's CCIE Service Provider Lab Workbook Volume I presents the topics covered in the CCIE Service Provider Lab Exam in an easy to follow, goal-oriented step-by-step approach. By isolating each topic on its own you are able to see firsthand the various ways to configure each technology, and what the specific implications of a configuration are. By understanding these fundamental operations of the protocols you will be able to predict advanced and sometimes subtle interactions when the various technologies are configured together.

The IEWB-SP-VOL1 Labs contain hands-on individually focused labs that present topics in an easy to follow, goal-oriented step-by-step approach. The labs are used to isolate topics on their own allowing candidates to see firsthand the various ways to configure each technology, and what the specific implications of a configuration are. By understanding these fundamental operations of the protocols candidates will be able to predict advanced and sometimes subtle interactions when the various technologies are configured together.
