CI-CIERS2
Cisco Internetwork Expert Routing & Switching 2 (CIERS2)
Course Overview
Cisco Internetwork Expert Routing & Switching 2 (CIERS2) v5.0 teaches learners how to use an expert-level, problem-solving process including the Options Analysis method to support complex network technologies and topologies. This course is part of a blended learning curriculum that supports expert-level preparation in routing and switching. This course has been updated to reflect the recent changes in the Cisco CCIE R&S lab that is implemented in the version 5 blueprint.
Who should attend
The primary audience for this course follows:
- Network engineers that need be able to use an expert-level, problem-solving process including the Options Analysis method to support complex network technologies and topologies when both configuring and troubleshooting an internetwork
The secondary audience for this course follows:
- Network designers that design and support complex network technologies and topologies
Certifications
This course is part of the following Certifications:
Prerequisites
To gain the prerequisite skills and knowledge, learners must have passed the Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching written exam.
Before taking Cisco 360 CCIE R&S Advanced Workshop 2, learners should be very familiar with the topics that are covered in CIERS1. It is also strongly recommended that learners perform two self-paced, graded assessment exams before attending this course. Learners should be able to demonstrate advanced-level competencies (knowledge and skills) that are equivalent to the following from both configuration and troubleshooting perspectives:
- Perform expert-level tasks involving WAN technologies and switched Ethernet networks
- Perform expert-level tasks involving Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
- Perform expert-level tasks for route redistribution
- Perform expert-level tasks for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
- Perform expert-level tasks for IPv4 multicast
- Perform expert-level tasks for IPv6 unicast and multicast connectivity
- Perform expert-level tasks for router quality of service (QoS) using the Modular QoS CLI (MQC)
Several training courses are available through Cisco Learning Partners that are recommended to meet the prerequisites:
- Cisco CCNP
- Beyond CCNP
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
- Perform expert-level tasks involving both configuring and troubleshooting WAN technologies and switched Ethernet networks
- Perform expert-level tasks involving both configuring and troubleshooting RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF
- Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting route redistribution
- Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting BGP
- Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting MPLS Layer 3 VPNs
- Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting IPv4 multicast
- Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting IPv6 unicast and multicast connectivity
- Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting router QoS using the MQC
- Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series QoS
- Perform expert-level tasks for both configuring and troubleshooting IP services
** Due to the advanced nature of this training course, it will run over extended training days and students should expect that classes will start early and they may be required to continue into the evening**
