Don't just cram for the exam. Develop a structured study plan for CCIE certification. You know attaining CCIE certification is tough. Only 20% of candidates pass it the first time. Improve your odds dramatically by applying the proven test preparation techniques described in this book. Bridges, Routers and Switches for CCIE's provides a systematic roadmap to guide candidates in expanding their internetworking knowledge base as well as refining internetwork "issue spotting", troubleshooting and analysis skills.

You'll learn key test-taking strategies as you review all major protocols. By categorizing and ordering internetworking topics, you will build a systematic study scheme. End-of chapter checklists help you advance as your knowledge base grows. The six levels covered in this book are:

• Level I: Physical and Data Link Layer (Frame-Relay, ISDN, Catalyst 5000, ATM).
• Level II: IP Addressing, IP IGP Routing and Route Redistribution (RIP, IGRP, EIGRP and OSPF).
• Level III: IP Exterior Gateway Routing Protocols (BGP4).
• Level IV: Non-IP Routing Protocols (IPX, AppleTalk, DECNET).
• Level V: Non-IP Routing Protocols (Transparent Bridging, IRB, SRB, SRT and DLSw+).
• Level VI: Managing Internetwork Traffic (Access-lists, Queuing and Route-Maps).

All topics covered will involve a hands-on format including:

• Step-by-step configuration explanations.
• Expert use of Cisco IOS Show commands.
• Detailed analysis using Cisco IOS debugging tools.

After you've used this book as a roadmap to prepare for the CCIE exam, you'll continue to treasure it as a comprehensive reference for both technical reference and problem-solving.
