Course Description:

The Firefly CCIE SAN Lab BootCamp is an intensive 5-day hands-on experience that will prepare you to take and pass the Cisco CCIE Storage Networking Lab Exam.

Through a series of challenging lab workshops and analysis, you will become intimately familiar with the format and the demands of the CCIE Lab Exam. You'll learn what to expect, how to prepare, and how to master the unique challenges of this rigorous exam.

Day 1 - Introduction to exam blueprint and tips for preparing, surviving and succeeding on the day of your exam.

Days 2&3 - Practice exams with performance analysis , identification of areas of improvement. Review of key configuation procedures, validation steps, best practices and common errors for each task.

Days 4&5 - Two more practice labs, start-to-finish. After which you will analyse your results.

The challenge labs in this class are designed to prepare you for the actual exam and are therefore 8 hours in duration which means this class will run into the evening to ensure you get the full exam experience.

After you complete this course, you will be able to:

* Create VSANs to implement a SAN design
* Configure Fibre Channel interfaces to implement a SAN design
* Configure advanced fabric services, including Cisco Fabric Services, DDAS, and enhanced zoning to optimize fabric management processes
* Configure zoning
* Implement IVR to allow selective routing of flows between VSANs
* Secure the SAN environment with port and fabric security
* Configure secure management protocols and role-based access control
* Configure FCIP tunnels
* Optimize performance across the FCIP tunnel
* Implement connectivity from iSCSI hosts to Fibre Channel storage targets
* Enable iSCSI high-availability and security
* Configure iSLB to enhance the scalability of iSCSI
* Implement FCC and QoS to reduce congestion and prioritize traffic flows
* Configure FICON support
* Configure Call Home to provide fault notification services
* Set up SPAN sessions,FC analyzer, and Wireshark to capture FC protocol data
* Install software licenses
* Upgrade system software
