About This Workbook

The Complete Lab
Workbook
for Your Success

Most people who sit for the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure lab fail. Not because they’re not smart enough, but because they didn’t practice the right way.

Here’s the thing. Watching 400 hours of video doesn’t prepare you for an 8-hour lab exam where every second counts. You need muscle memory. You need to know what a broken OSPF adjacency looks like before you even finish reading the error message. You need to configure SD-WAN policies in your sleep.

That’s what this workbook does. It’s 1,800+ pages of structured, hands-on lab exercises that follow the exact CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure v1.1 blueprint. Every lab comes with a detailed topology diagram, step-by-step instructions, verified configurations, and, most importantly, the EVE-NG topology files so you can practice right away.

We didn’t write another study guide. Study guides explain theory. This workbook makes you do the work. From basic OSPF adjacency builds to full-scale multi-site SD-Access deployments with SD-WAN border integration, every lab is designed to build the speed and precision the real exam demands.

And every config in here has been tested. Not on GNS3 screenshots from 2019. Tested on real IOS-XE, vManage controllers, and Catalyst Center environments running current code.

The Hard Truth

Why Most Candidates Struggle

Understanding the real problems with traditional training – and how we’ve built something better.

Traditional Approach

Why most study methods fail you

Watching Videos Isn't Practice

You can't build muscle memory from YouTube. The lab requires speed and precision.

Scattered Resources Waste Time

Random blog posts and outdated guides create dangerous knowledge gaps.

Outdated & Isolated Content

Materials lag behind exam updates, topics taught in silos without integration.

No Structure or Troubleshooting

Without a clear path, you study the wrong things and miss critical skills.

Our Workbook Approach

Built for real exam success

Hands-On From Day One

Every concept includes immediate lab practice to build muscle memory and confidence.

Always Current & Structured

Free lifetime updates ensure your materials match the latest exam blueprint.

04

MPLS L3VPN Service Provider Edge

Configure PE-CE routing with MP-BGP VPNv4, build VRF-lite handoffs, DMVPN Phase 3 with dual-hub NHRP, and IPsec/IKEv2 tunnel protection.

05

Network Automation and Programmability

Python scripts for device provisioning via RESTCONF and NETCONF. EEM applets for event-driven automation. Catalyst Center and vManage API calls using Python and Postman.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every lab maps to the current v1.1 blueprint. The workbook covers all five domains: Network Infrastructure (30%), Software-Defined Infrastructure (25%), Transport Technologies (15%), Infrastructure Security and Services (15%), and Automation and Programmability (15%). We include a blueprint coverage matrix so you can see exactly which labs cover which exam topics.
Not necessarily. The workbook starts with foundational labs that build up progressively. But honestly, if you haven’t passed ENCOR yet, you should probably start there. ENCOR is the qualifying exam, and the workbook assumes you have solid CCNP-level knowledge.
EVE-NG (Community or Professional edition) running on a machine with at least 32 GB RAM. The workbook includes all topology files and a complete setup guide. You’ll need Cisco IOS images from a valid CML/VIRL license.
Yes. The current edition covers the v1.1 blueprint including the expanded SD-WAN and SD-Access sections, Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center) labs, and updated automation content with current API endpoints. Last updated: April 2026.
