As promised I have begun posting new updates to the CCNP Lab Workbook, for customers of the CCNP Bootcamp Class-on-Demand. In addition to the previously available BCMSN section, the EIGRP portion of the BSCI section is now posted. I should be posting another batch of updates tomorrow which include OSPF and possibly IS-IS, along with the rest of the topics to soon follow. Current customers can find these updates on the members site.... [Read the rest of this entry -->]

Everyone has been so excited for the Version 4.X updates within the CCIE R&S Written Bootcamp CoD. I think one of the reasons for this is that, finally, the CCIE R&S Written aligns perfectly with the Lab Exam Blueprint. Every topic you need to know for the written, you also need to know for the lab exam. This is a real benefit to students as they prepare for each exam.... [Read the rest of this entry -->]

Many students keep asking us – how do I get the most from IEWB-RS VOL1? This product is a Tier-1 solution, designed to teach students the fundamental technologies of the CCIE R&S lab. However, the workbook looks intimidating to many beginner students due to its huge volume. In short, the problems that many people have dealing with a large amount of knowledge covered in the workbook could be summarized as follows:... [Read the rest of this entry -->]

It is time now for us to wrap up this series on IPv6 transition techniques (in the scope of the R&S CCIE Written and Lab exam). For this final part, we turn to an existing blog post from our own resident genius, Petr Lapukhov. I edited his post to ensure we mere mortals could understand it.

For those of you that have been following the previous parts of this blog series (they are located in the IPv6 subcategory of the CCIE R&S category to the left), get ready for a major paradigm shift. So far, we have been experimenting with transition techniques (tunnels) that have focused on connecting remote “island” networks of IPv6 over an IPv4-only infrastructure. Now we are going to discuss a mechanism that was designed to help IPv4-only hosts communicate to other native IPv6 devices.... [Read the rest of this entry -->]

Change was in the air, and Bob knew it. Bob had simply been ignoring the fact that the existing IPSec site to site tunnels that he inherited at his company were old school, and there were better options, especially when plans included bringing up dozens of new sites. Since his company was going to be purchasing MPLS services, Bob was open to learning better ways of implementing secure tunnels. In Bob’s studies, he read a article written by Petr Lapukhov on DMVPN and was very interested. Bob’s glee was short lived when he learned that when the spokes of DMVPN had to build tunnels to other spokes, it was not quick enought for voice traffic. Bob learned that the latency happens when setting up the IKE phase 1 and 2 tunnels between the spokes. Then Bob chanced upon one of Anthony Sequeira’s blog posts regarding GET VPN, and learned that with GET (Group Encrypted Transport), there was no need to build the tunnels between spokes, and therefore less latency. This would solve the latency issue for time sensitive traffic, and still have the benefits of encryption! It sounded almost too good to be true.... [Read the rest of this entry -->]

After the huge popularity of our CCIE 3.X Expanded Blueprint here on the blog, I am going to put extra effort in the next two weeks for the new CCIE 4.X R&S Expanded Blueprint. Adding links for Core Knowledge (Tier 1) study should help in that section, as well as Configuration and Troubleshooting. I hope you enjoy and thanks as always for choosing INE....
