Let Global Knowledge help you achieve the ultimate in Cisco
Career Certification. Cisco CCIE Certification has for over ten
years been recognised as identifying internetworking professionals
with the highest level of expertise, capable of tackling the most
challenging assignments.
Less than 3% of Cisco Certified professionals
become CCIEs, but with Global Knowledge's CCIE offerings we help
make it happen.
There are currently five tracks within the CCIE
certification level :
Routing & Switching - CCIE
certification in Routing and Switching indicates expert level
knowledge of networking across various LAN and WAN interfaces, and
a variety of routers and switches. Experts in R&S solve complex
connectivity problems and apply technology solutions to increase
bandwidth, improve response times, maximize performance, improve
security, and support global applications. Candidates should be
able to install, configure, and maintain LAN, WAN, and dial access
services.
Security - CCIE
certification in Security indicates expert level knowledge of IP
and IP routing as well as specific security protocols and
components.
Voice - CCIE
certification in Voice indicates expert level knowledge of VoIP
solutions in the enterprise. Candidates should be able to install,
configure and maintain Voice solutions over IP networks. The CCIE
Voice track, however, does not certify an understanding of the
infrastructure over which VoIP solutions are implemented. This
contrasts with the CCIE Service Provider-IP Telephony track which
certifies an individual as a core IP expert with a high degree of
VoIP literacy.
Service Provider - CCIE Service Provider
certification indicates expert level knowledge and skill in
the fundamentals of IP and core IP technologies such as unicast IP
routing, QoS, multicast, MPLS, MPLS VPNs, traffic engineering, and
multi-protocol BGP, as well as specialized knowledge in at least
one of the networking areas specific to service providers. These
areas include Dial, DSL, Cable, Optical, WAN Switching, IP
Telephony, Content Networking, and Metro Ethernet.
Storage - CCIE certification in
Storage Networking indicates expert level knowledge of intelligent
storage solutions over extended network infrastructure using
multiple transport options such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCIP and
FICON. Storage Networking extensions allow companies to improve
disaster recovery, optimize performance and take advantage of
network services such as volume management, data replication, and
enhanced integration with blade servers and storage
appliances.
Passing CCIE
exams
To obtain your CCIE,
you must first pass a written qualification exam and then a
corresponding hands-on lab exam. More information on these exams
can be found on either the Cisco Exams page or on Global
Knowledge's Exam Requirements page.
