CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure

The CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab Exam is a prestigious certification that validates expert-level networking skills in designing, deploying, operating, and optimizing complex enterprise networks. This rigorous exam challenges candidates to showcase their expertise in network infrastructure, software-defined solutions, security, automation, and transport technologies.

Exam Format

The CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab Exam is an 8-hour practical test divided into two sections:

  1. Design Section (3 Hours)

    · Tests the ability to create high-level and low-level network designs.
    · Focuses on understanding requirements, constraints, and scalability.
    · Includes scenarios such as SD-WAN, traditional campus designs, and WAN connectivity.
  2. Deploy, Operate, and Optimize Section (5 Hours)

    · Evaluates hands-on skills in configuring, troubleshooting, and optimizing networks.
    · Covers technologies such as OSPF, BGP, MPLS, multicast, QoS, security, and automation.
    · Requires implementation of SD-WAN, DNA Center, and other enterprise technologies.
