CCIE SP Lab Exam Outline ~ CCNP, CCSP and CCIE Security Version 4 Training Institute in India- Delhi

The following is a detailed CCIE SP lab exam outline. The aim is to help people preparing for the respective exam in organizing their study and eliminating “white spaces” in their knowledge. In general, the ouline tries to follows the official lab blueprint as much as possible and covers the following topics in-depth:

Bridging & Switching
IGP Core Routing
BGP
MPLS
SP Multicast
L2/L3 VPNs
QoS
Security
High Availability
Management

Some of the sections may look too much detailed, especially the Bridging & Switching (particularly ATM technology) and maybe QoS and High Availability sections. You will probably want to spend most of your time on IGP, BGP, MPLS, L2/L3 VPN sections (the core of the SP lab) and slightly less on SP Multicast section.

About Network Bulls Gurgaon

Best institute for ccna, ccnp, ccsp and ccie security version 4 course training in Delhi and Gurgaon.
Which is best ccsp institute in delhi? cisco certified security professional training in delhi ncr gurgaon. Nb provides world class top training for cisco security firewall in delhi ncr. Cisco CCIE certification exam lab asia's biggest lab training institution in new delhi gurgaon india. There are many institutes in India, who claims to provide Job Guarantee after CCNA even. There are some small institutes, who make fool of students with there cheap tricks and frauds. Some institutes in this field, do not have CCIE Certified trainers and racks available, but they claim to provide best training from other big institutes. Student should not take admission in such fraud and cheap institutes. Students can also give their valuable feedback, complaints and reviews about different institutes in our forums. But students should also be aware of wrong and unauthenticated feedback or complaints against great institutes like Network Bulls, Networkers Home and INE in some fake complaint forums, where no one is authenticating any comment or posts. Those wrong posts are written by some competitor institutes only. Those cheap and fraud institutes can't earn money and get admissions based on their results and infrastructure. They just write rubbish and wrong things on different forums against some good institutes and try to get admissions. A student who want to get refunds or good training or want to give feedback, can also go to consumer court and register a complaint against that fraud institute.
As per my experience Network Bulls and INE are both the best institutes of world.
