Take the Cisco CCIE Lab Exam One and pass!

What's tougher to survive than the Cisco CCIE written exam? The Cisco CCIE lab exam! But with All-In-One CCIE Lab Study, Guide, by IBM Global Network Services engineers Stephen Hutnik, CCNA, and Michael Satterlee, CCIE, you've got the first lab-specific tool to drill you with 86 fully tested and documented CCIE lab exercises that work through over 200 real-world router configurations! Each of the Guide's configuration exercises has been tested and debugged in IBM's own lab and all device output reproduced from the functioning configuration itself. Step-by-step instructions, complete with lab and configuration objectives, annotated command summaries, and detailed lab illustrations - make it your master tutor for:

*Implementing and troubleshooting every configuration
*Handling Cisco terminal servers, network address translation, and network time protocol
*Configuring BGP, OSPF, RIP, IGRP, and EIGRP protocols
*Working with Frame Relay, ATM, and ISDN and dial routing connections, Catalyst 5000 switching products, and tunnel interfaces
*Redistributing routing protocols, configuring router security, and loading configuration and IOS images

Excellent for lab preparation...for existing CCIEs...and for anyone who works with Cisco routers.

Plus...the CD-ROM contains all the book's 200+ configurations - ready to cut and paste into your setups!

Review:

The best way to learn about internetworking is to build a system of linked networks, play with it until it breaks, build another in a different way, and repeat the process indefinitely. Only by seeing how real machines communicate across real wires can you expect to become prepared for real-life network operations (in which you attempt to do the same thing, but without the "until it breaks" part). All-In-One CCIE Lab Study Guide takes you through the experimentation process, helping you develop a sizable body of knowledge about Internet protocols and the equipment that implements them. In 86 laboratory exercises, all well-designed and thoroughly debugged, authors Stephen Hutnick and Michael Satterlee reveal the intricacies of protocols, routing, bridging, and more, as implemented on Cisco Systems gear.

The exercises read like something out of a high school physics textbook, with equipment lists and specific setup instructions to follow (this is a good thing). Lists of configuration files (which also appear on the companion CD-ROM), highlight and comment on lines that are key to whatever concept the lab is meant to highlight. Then you learn how to test the configurations and what responses to expect from your experimental setup. It's a fascinating approach that's perfect if you have the equipment (sometimes considerable) needed to duplicate the configurations. It's only slightly less great if you have to read along without doing all the experiments. --David Wall

Topics covered: The subjects needed to pass the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) laboratory exam (the implementation of various networking protocols on Cisco products). Covered protocols include ISDN, frame relay, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Appletalk, IPX, and the TCP/IP suite. Detailed coverage of routing protocols (including OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP, and BGP) makes this book stand out.
