 SPv4 Exam Format Changes
» Previous SPv3 format
• Single 8 hour configuration section
• Troubleshooting built into initial configs
» New SPv4 format
• Three separate modules
• Troubleshooting
• Diagnostic
• Configuration

Copyright © www.ine.com
 SPv4 Troubleshooting Module
» 2 – 2.5 hours
• 30 minutes may be deducted from configuration
» ~ 10 troubleshooting tickets
• 2 – 4 apiece
• Tickets are independent of each other
• Large topology separate from configuration

Copyright © www.ine.com
 SPv4 Diagnostic Module
» 1 hour fixed
» ~ 3 tickets of ~ 4 questions apiece
• Where is the problem occurring?
• What is the cause of the problem?
• What information do we need to correctly diagnose the
problem?
» Quickly sorting through the information is key for
time management
• Incident reports, show outputs, packet captures, etc.
Copyright © www.ine.com
 SPv4 Configuration Module
» 4.5 – 5 hours
• 30 minutes may be assigned to Troubleshooting
» Similar to v3 exam format
• Large topology
• Lots of interdependencies
• Time management is key
