CCIE Service Provider (v5.

1) Lab Exam Topics – Practical Exam

The Cisco CCIE Service Provider Infrastructure v5.1 Lab Exam is


an eight-hour, hands-on lab exam that requires a candidate to
plan, design, implement, operate, and optimize dual stack
solutions (IPv4 and IPv6) of complex service provider networks.

Candidates are expected to program and automate the network


within their exam, as per exam topics below.

The following topics are general guidelines for the content likely
to be included on the exam. Your knowledge, skills and abilities
on these topics will be tested throughout the entire network
lifecycle, unless explicitly specified otherwise within this
document.

The exam is closed book and no outside reference materials are allowed.
