Combined with Volume I, the CCIE candidate will get comprehensive coverage of all topics on the Routing and Switching, Security, and Communications and Services lab exams.
The book begins with brief coverage of the core technologies required on the CCIE lab exam and includes suggested references for further reading.

The final chapter of the book concludes with five hands-on lab exercises. These comprehensive practice labs include all of the technologies and gradually increase in difficulty level. They present readers with scenarios similar to what they will face on the actual lab exam. Study tips and test-taking techniques are included throughout the book.
