NSE8 Lab Study Resources - Narbik CCIE R&S v5.1 Foundations
Hey All, I have been working on putting together some scenarios for lab practice and I've found myself falling back on some of the study materials I used when preparing for the CCIE EI (yet to obtain, on the list after the NSE8). A legendary trainer in this area is Narbik Kocharians CCIE 12410 who is the president of Micronics Networking and Training - his CCIE prep courses and text books are considered almost required reading for any serious candidate for this certification. His text books work through hands on labs that are focused on specific topics to help cement the theory of the different topics in the exam. His textbook CCIE Routing and Switching 5.1 Foundations: Bridging the Gap between CCNP and CCIE is well aimed at the skill level required of the NSE8 and fortunately there is actually quite a bit of overlap in its 1100 pages. The chapters within the textbook are: 1. Physical Topology 2. Physical and Logical Topologies 3. Spanning Tree Protocol 4. Point-to-Point Protocol
