CCIE Service Provider Course Overview

Achieving CCIE Service Provider certification proves your skills with complex service provider solutions. To earn CCIE Service Provider certification, you pass two exams: a qualifying exam that covers core service provider technologies, and a hands-on lab exam that covers service provider technologies through the entire network lifecycle, from designing and deploying to operating and optimizing.

Lab Exam Description

The Cisco CCIE Service Provider (v5.0) Lab Exam is an eight-hour, hands-on 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.

  1. Sr. Network engineer
  2. Lead Consultant
  3. Sr. Network administrator
  4. Technical Solutions Architect

There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE Service Provider Infrastructure, but you should have a thorough understanding of the exam topics before taking the exam.

CCIE candidates are recommended to have five to seven years of experience with designing, deploying, operating and optimizing Service Provider networking technologies and solutions prior to taking the exam

  1. Intermediate knowledge of Cisco IOS or IOS XE
  2. Familiarity with Cisco IOS or IOS XE and Cisco IOS XR Software configuration
  3. Knowledge of IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/IP networking
  4. Intermediate knowledge of IP routing protocols
  5. Understanding of MPLS technologies
  6. Familiarity with VPN technologies

All Cisco certifications are valid for 3 years.

    FAQ on CCIE Service Provider

    You need to pass one core exam (SPCOR 300-501) and the corresponding lab exam CCIE Service Provider v5.0 to achieve your CCIE certificate.

    Yes. The same technology core exam will serve as the core exam for the CCNP and CCIE certification in any of the certification track like security, Collaboration or Data Center etc.

    Once you clear the technology core exam (SPCOR 300-501), you can clear the CCIE lab exam within 3 years of passing the qualifying technology core exam. Plus if you can pass the corresponding technology concentration exam, you will get CCNP certificate too.
