In this challenge you were presented with a router who had an adjacent router which was configured with IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, and running OSPF, EIGRP, ISIS, and BGP. Each country was a challenge to complete. The site was a global map similar to this and you were able to click on countries. When you found the flag, you would enter it into the web portal and collect points. When you clicked on the country, you would be presented with the scenario and a clue as to what the flag was that you needed to capture.
The competition started with a web portal with a map of the world, and each challenge was a country. In case you're wondering, the creators of this course are fine with me sharing the solutions. With that said, I wanted to share the various challenges and solutions that were part of this competition in order to get the word out about this competition in hopes that Cisco will decide to do it again next year. While it was network-focused, it required the teams to really have a wide array of expertise in order to successfully navigate the challenges. While CCIE is listed in the title, having a CCIE certification was not a prerequisite to attend and compete (good for me as I don't have a CCIE certification).įirst of all, this was a VERY challenging competition, and I really enjoyed that it covered such a wide breadth of technical domains. The competition was a structured game where teams compete in order to try and solve challenges related to networking, operating systems, applications, forensic analysis, and security and the winning team gets Intel NUC computers. The event was titled "Cisco Capture the Flag: A Full-Stack, Team-Based Competition". At Cisco Live this year in Las Vegas, a coworker ( Paul Giblin Twitter: and I decided to attended a new kind of event hosted by Cisco.
