OBJECTIVES:  The CCIE lab exam is an eight-hour, hands-on exam which requires  configuring a Cisco enterprise voice solution over an IP network. Although basic network connectivity is provided, candidates are responsible for configuring the pre-installed applications to satisfy the requirements of the lab, and to troubleshoot important parameters of a voice network, such as quality of service, VLANs, gateways and gatekeepers.

This course lays a firm foundation for the CCIE Voice Lab.  This is NOT a “Bootcamp”.  The CCIE Voice Lab exam blueprint objectives are covered in “Detail”.

 

Unlike Bootcamps, this class covers fundamental material in detail and builds upon the base knowledge, layer by layer.  Instead of cramming knowledge, the student is led step by step into a full understanding of the technology, culminating at the end of the course with a solid foundation of topics covered on the CCIE Voice lab exam.

 

 

PREREQUISITES:   

 

  1. CCNA (routing and switching) or equivalent experience is required.  
  2. CCNA Voice or equivalent experience is required.

 

EXTRAS:

 

  1. CCIE Voice Written Exam (350-030) voucher ($350 value). 
  2. Personal Mentoring.
  3. DVD – Preparing for the CCIE Voice lab.
    COURSE OUTLINE

Instructor-Led class

Taught by experienced Cisco Certified Systems Instructors (CCSI), each session builds upon past knowledge.

 

Week one is a deep dive into fundamental theory of both VOIP and CCNA route/switch material applicable to CCIE Voice lab exam. At the conclusion of the first week, students are well prepared to take the CCIE Voice written exam 350-030 and have a firm understanding of how to Implement and Troubleshoot Campus Infrastructure and Services required for the CCIE Voice lab.

 


Week two builds upon theory with focused hands-on labs covering items typically found in CCVP type courses. The CCVP curriculum focuses on Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly Unified CallManager), quality of service (QoS), gateways, gatekeepers, IP phones, voice applications, and utilities on Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst switches.

Week three delves into VoIP applications – CUC, Presence, and UCCX; and discussed more advanced CCIE Voice lab exam topics.

 

Week four is designed to solidify previous weeks’ sessions. Effective July 16, 2009, the Cisco CCIE Voice Lab Exam will feature a new type of question format in a section called Core Knowledge.  In this new section, candidates will be asked a series of four open-ended questions that require a short, typewritten response (typically several words).

 

Week four will present student opportunity to answer CORE KNOWLEDGE type questions. The sessions culminate with two full-scale 8-hour CCIE Voice mock lab scenarios.  Following each lab, the next day, instructor will go over lab exam in detail.
