Us CCIE lab takers need to learn how to navigate the Cisco Doc CD, which on a casual browse, one would think is fairly easy to do. However, since starting to explore it, I’ve actually had to take some time to find where some things actually were. There are also a number of redundant levels you need to drill down to get to the sections you actually want!
Yes, Routing Protocol commands are easy to find, however PPP, 3560 Switch commands, Regular Expressions, where not so easy to find initially by relying on the link titles alone, which is all a CCIE candidate would have during the actual LAB. So below is a quick list of where to find commands on the DocCD.
* The documentation has been moved to a new format, however the titles are the same. Once you get sick of the redirects, just bookmark the new menus for command and configuration guides in addition to the original URL.
