FAQS

What are the prerequisites for the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure v1.0 certification?

There are no formal prerequisites, but it is recommended to have a strong understanding of networking concepts and substantial hands-on experience.

What is the CCIE EI v1.0 exam format?

The 8-hour lab exam evaluates candidates across the entire network lifecycle, covering design, deployment, operation, and optimization of complex network scenarios. The exam comprises two fixed-time modules delivered in a specific sequence: Module 1: Design (3 hours) and Module 2: Deploy, Operate, and Optimize (5 hours).

What is the Module 1: Design (03 Hours) in CCIE EI Lab Exam?

Module 1 Design (3 hours): This module assesses the ability to create, analyze, validate, and optimize network designs. Candidates must understand technology capabilities, translate customer requirements into solutions, and assess readiness for proposed solutions. It is scenario-based, without device access, and candidates use provided documentation for web-based tasks. Examples include email threads, high-level designs, and network topology diagrams. Backward navigation is disabled, and points values for items are not displayed. Task formats include Drag-and-Drop, Multiple-Choice, and Dropdown items.

What is Module 2: Deploy, Operate, and Optimize (5 hours) in the lab exam?

Module 2 Deploy, Operate, and Optimize (5 hours): This module involves deploying networks per design specs, customer requirements, and restrictions. Candidates configure, integrate, and troubleshoot, covering all implementation steps. They then operate and optimize networks, monitoring health, enhancing service quality, reducing disruptions, and adjusting configurations. The setup mirrors a production network, combining hands-on and web-based tasks, often in a virtualized lab. Backward navigation is enabled, providing full visibility and displaying points values for each item.

What topics are covered in the CCIE EI v1.0 certification?

The CCIE EI v1.0 covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to switched campus, routing concepts, infrastructure security, services, and network automation.

How long does it take to complete the CCIE Bootcamp?

The bootcamp typically spans 30 training days, with the first 15 days focusing on technology and labs, and the remaining 15 days dedicated to lab exam mock labs for thorough preparation.

What resources are available for exam preparation?

Various resources, including expert-led classes, official Cisco CCIE EI curriculum, Real-Labs mock labs, and online rack access, are provided to ensure a comprehensive and effective preparation for the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure v1.0 certification.
