Cisco Virtual Rack (CCNP/CCIE Style)

Multi-router/switch topologies for ENCOR 350-401, ENARSI 300-410 and CCIE-level drills.

A clean, isolated Cisco virtual rack that behaves like a real enterprise network. You will practice the configuration, verification and troubleshooting patterns that show up in CCNP Enterprise (ENCOR 350-401 / ENARSI 300-410) and the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure mindset: verify first, isolate the fault domain, apply minimal-change fixes, and validate end-to-end behavior with evidence.

What you get
  • Multiple enterprise topologies (campus + WAN/edge patterns) with reset capability
  • Ticket-style tasks with clear success criteria and validation commands
  • Verification-first checklists (pre-check / post-check) to avoid guesswork
  • Break/fix drills: symptoms, constraints, and suggested rollback approach
  • Optional mock questions and keywords mapped to each scenario
Lab scenarios
  • Routing loop symptoms after redistribution: detect, contain, and remediate safely
  • OSPF neighbors stuck in EXSTART/FULL mismatch: isolate MTU/area/auth causes
  • BGP session established but prefixes missing: policy/filtering/next-hop triage
  • STP root placement and loop prevention: protect the network under failure
  • Path control drill: prefer one WAN path while keeping deterministic failover
  • Policy verification: route-maps/prefix-lists impacts and validation evidence
How it works

Review topology + IP plan, then run the baseline reachability and routing checks.

Each ticket includes constraints (change window, least-impact fix, rollback notes).

Run post-checks, capture key outputs, and write a short change note like production.

Repeat timed runs to improve accuracy and reduce troubleshooting time.
Access & environment
  • Designed for browser-based instructions + remote console access (based on your deployment)
  • Reset snapshots / rebuild guidance for repeated practice
  • Downloadable checklists and troubleshooting templates
  • Works well alongside mock exams and question bank review
Prerequisites
  • Solid TCP/IP fundamentals (subnetting, routing basics)
  • Basic Cisco CLI navigation (show/verify commands)
  • Willingness to troubleshoot with evidence rather than trial-and-error
Outcomes
  • Faster troubleshooting workflow you can apply on the job
  • Stronger readiness for scenario-style CCNP Enterprise questions
  • CCIE-style discipline: minimal changes + strong validation
  • Repeatable study loop: lab → verify → mock → review
