CCIE Routing and Switching Lab Exam Version 5.0 Exam Topics(part one)
Exam Description:
The CCIE Routing and Switching Lab Exam version 5.0 is an eight-hour, hands-on exam which requires you to configure and troubleshoot a series of complex networks to given specifications. Knowledge of troubleshooting is an important skill and candidates are expected to diagnose and solve issues as part of the CCIE lab exam. You will not configure end-user systems, but are responsible for all devices residing in the network.
