Re: Cisco GOLDLabs - LabOps

This should set u up in the right direction. Please let me know if you need
more help with setting up.

 *Details and Prerequisites*

Today's internetworking environment continues to become more complex as the
frontiers of technology move forward. To remain competitive, resellers are
placing ever-increasing demands on their internetworking support
professionals. These demands promote the need for expanded reseller
technical training to provide a solid foundation for selling and supporting
Cisco networking solutions. With that, the WW Channels Organization provides
the Advanced SE Training Initiative (ASET). This initiative is to help
provide guidance and support to certified partners who may need help meeting
these challenging demands.

*Program Details
*ASET is remote access based training largely specific to post-sales build,
configure, test, troubleshoot and debug efforts. The training covers a broad
range of topics and general knowledge. (OSPF and BGP routing, to name just a
few) General LAN/WAN knowledge, including data encapsulation and layering;
windowing, flow control, and relation to delay; error detection and
recovery; link-state, distance-vector, and switching algorithms; and
management, monitoring, and fault isolation.

Knowledge of a variety of corporate technologies-including major services
provided by Desktop, WAN, and Internet groups as well as the functions,
addressing structures, and routing, switching, and bridging implications of
each of their protocols. Knowledge of Cisco specific technologies, including
router/switch platforms, architectures, and applications; communication
servers; protocol translation and applications; configuration commands and
system/network impact; and LAN/WAN interfaces, capabilities and
applications.

*Participation*
To take advantage of Advanced SE Training, a partner must have the
sponsorship of their local Cisco WW Channels SE. This means that the partner
SE and the local Cisco SE must prepare a technical readiness plan which
includes the following:

   1. The evaluation of the partner SE's level of technical expertise. This
   allows the local Cisco SE to provide suggestions on classes to take, books
   to read, and web links to online trainings. Usually this is done before the
   candidate attempts the written exam. Then a second evaluation is conducted
   before the attempt at the lab exam.
   2. Suggest attendance in a Cisco Certification Study Group hosted by the
   local Cisco office. By joining the local CCSG the partner SE can participate
   in discussions on various topics pertaining to the CCIE Written Exam or
   other Cisco Career Certifications. Many of the CCSG's have guest speakers
   discuss areas of specialization such as TAC engineers, Lead SE and Product
   Managers.
   3. Outline a partner SE's ability to devote the self study time and
   ability to apply practical study methods.
   Practice

*Lab Prerequisites *
After completing the initial steps provided by the local Cisco office, the
following prerequisites must be met before an ASET Practice Lab can be
scheduled:

   1. Successfully pass the CCIE Written Exam.
   2. Schedule a CCIE Lab Exam.

Candidates should always keep their sponsoring Cisco SE Up to date on their
progress.

If all prerequisites are completed:

To request access to Practice Racks online, contact your sponsoring Cisco
Channels SE for scheduling.
