TECCCIE-3000 Session Abstract


This session covers CCIE Routing & Switching Program updates, and provides
you an in-depth overview of what is covered in both the written and the lab exams.
This includes examples and lab exam case studies focusing on topics candidates
frequently miss out during their lab attempt.
The main objective of this session is to give you an overview of how the exams
are conducted and to provide you good guidance on what you need to look at
when preparing and taking the exams.

The session is mainly focusing on exam centric approaches and strategies and is
not aimed at covering all technical topics susceptible to appear in the exams.

CCIE R&Sv5 Lab TS Exam Guidelines


Specific to Troubleshooting module
Read the whole question stem before starting to troubleshoot!
(symptoms, validation test, constraints)
Do a Root Cause Analysis before doing any configuration change

Revert to initial configuration if in doubt (manage devices menu)


Do not remove any feature preconfigured!
ACL, PBR, NAT, CoPP, MQC,
Do not change routing protocol(s) boundaries, unless it is the issue!
Do not use static routes to resolve an issue, unless it is the issue!
Use the validation test to confirm resolution (necessary but not sufficient!)

Do backward verifications using the validation test of each incident


TECCCIE-3000

2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Cisco Public

82

Troubleshooting Approach/Strategy
Questioning to the void ( 5x Whys)
Ask Why is that until I dont know or I dont care
Confirm validity of each answer and if it provides relevant additional info
Isolate the problem description to as few devices, interfaces, features as possible!

Focus on the highlighted region of the main topology


Dont expect best practices configs/scenario!
Go for the simplest solution!
Verify resolution vs constraints!
Manage your time! Dont get stuck!

TECCCIE-3000

Troubleshooting Approach/Strategy
Understand the symptoms and their scope
Analyze the scenario without doing any changes yet
Mentally define the problem with specific and precise networking terms

Isolate the issue to a minimum number of devices that may be implicated


Mentally formulate possible causes and assign likelihood
Test each hypothesis methodically
Keep track of all config changes and revert to initial configs if needed

CCIE R&Sv5 Lab CFG Exam Guidelines


Specific to Configuration module
Read all items and understand the overall scenario.
The overall scenario targets full reachability between all sites, unless specified.
Points are awarded per item if the solution meets all requirements.

There are many valid solutions, grading is based on outcome.


Do not use static route and redistributions unless explicitly requested to.
Do not change IP addressing or routing protocols boundaries.
Do not add interfaces unless specified.
Plan for regression tests after completed substantial changes.

Slowly but surely

Try to set up the mood and to get into the "flow

Practice, Practice & Practice!


Better to be stuck in one full lab scenario than looking at the answer
Try to find the answer on your own!
Further research on the topic
Use debug and show commands
Try and test possible config solutions

Focus on Quality vs Quantity!


Always ask What if?"

Practice for speed and Troubleshooting


Target max 5h to resolve a practice lab
Learn and use IOS shortcuts
Use Notepad to copy/paste identical
Establish your methodology and strategy with speed in mind

Ask someone to introduce problems to a known lab

Focus on the troubleshooting methodology and speed will come naturally


Isolate the issue in OSI layer, protocol/feature, device(s), interface(s),
Work from destination when applicable
Keep asking What IS and What IS NOT working? & What if?
