Bootcamp Outline

A comprehensive program covering CCIE Service Provider, and CCDE topics, blending practical implementation and advanced design principles.

1.1 Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs)

  • IS-IS: Configurations, optimization for IPv4/IPv6, scalability techniques.
  • OSPFv2 and OSPFv3: Multi-area setups, graceful restart (NSF, NSR), and fast convergence.
  • IGP Scaling and Optimization: LFA, TI-LFA, BFD, and other resilience mechanisms.

1.2 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

  • IBGP/EBGP: Route reflectors, confederations, and session resilience.
  • Advanced BGP Policies: Path attributes, filtering, and policy enforcement.
  • BGP Performance and Scaling: Prefix independent convergence (BGP-PIC) and dampening.
  • Labeled Unicast and BGP-LS: Leveraging BGP in MPLS and segment routing environments.

1.3 Multicast Routing

  • Protocols: PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, BIDIR-PIM.
  • RP Design: Auto-RP, Anycast RP, and MSDP integration.
  • Tree Structures: MLDP, multicast VPN integration, and Tree-SID in segment routing.

2.4 Carrier Ethernet

  • L2VPN Services: E-Line, E-LAN, and E-Tree.
  • EVPN-VPWS, EVPN-ELAN, and IRB.
  • Auto-steering into segment routing policies.

2.5 L3VPN Services

  • PE-CE routing protocols (OSPF, BGP) and Inter-AS L3VPNs.
  • Shared services (Extranet, Internet access) and steering into SR policies.

2.6 Internet Service Design

  • IPv4 translation: NAT44, CGNAT, NAT64, MAP-T.
  • Internet peering and transit policies.

2.7 Multicast VPNs (mVPN)
