| Outline |
The first 24 weeks we will focus on mastering the core topics on the CCIE R & S Lab exam. We will utilize CCIE
Routing & Switching Core Lab Workbook from Internetwork Expert. We will spend a minimum of 24 weeks working these labs or until
everyone is comfortable doing them. Each member will have an opportunity to practice some portion of the lab during each group
meeting. We will focus on strengthening everyone’s weaknesses. These are short labs so we will have a pre and post assessment
of the technology we are working with that week. Pre lab will be an overview presented by a group member. Post lab will be an
open forum discussing issues.
The 2nd group of labs will be 8 hours in length. The group will use Internetwork Expert Volume II Lab Workbook. Because each
lab will take 8 hours to complete, we may have two different rack rentals going on simultaneously. The labs will be broken up
by section so that each member will have a chance to get hands on during the group meetings.
Each member will have assignments during the week which will require them to do research and present material to the group.
This may require members be paired up with someone to research topics for the group.
On the first 10 6 hour labs; Each member will (1) read the lab, diagram the network, develop their own task/time strategy, (2)
take turns configuring the sections, and (3) decide on the tasks to complete as time evaporates. Only on the 8 hour labs will
we score the results either that night or during the week.
Discussion during the group meetings will be encouraged and each member will show respect and professionalism to others. The
meetings will be fast-paced but we will not just skip over issue that the group doesn’t fully grasp. We will track issues and
questions on topics and either address them to the CCIE-Group Study or through the CCIE Forum at Internetwork Expert.
The cost of lab rentals will be shared among the group and if materials are purchased that the group decides it needs the cost
will be evenly distributed among it members. |
