| Someone in my office mentioned that he heard that Cisco was doing away with the written exam for those that have the NP. I haven't been able to confirm this anywhere, so I thought to bring this to the forum.
Anybody heard about this?

| I heard the same thing being passed around in groupstudy, but it is false. It would be nice though. | |

| I wouldn't complain about it.

| I wouldn't complain about it either. It would be very nice. I think the main reason why they don't is because the CCIE Written goes deeper in certain topics than what is required for the NP. For example I know that Token Ring and Source-Route Bridging and covered heavly on the CCIE Written, but you don't need to know them for the NP. But I guess you can argue that both ways because you are not going to be tested about HSRP or multicasting on the Written.
The bottem line is, more studying!
How far are you along with your NP? | |

| Actually the CCNP goes into deeper detail then the CCIE written.

till i pass.

| I'm hoping that it won't be too bad for me since I deal with BGP everyday.
I don't plan on starting on the IE written until March, then working on the lab 6 to 8 months later.

appropriate commands from a numbered
list. | |

| I just passed my Routing exam a couple of weeks ago and am getting ready to take my Remote Access in a couple of weeks. The routing exam is not that difficult. I had a lot of questions on BGP, EIGRP, and OSPF. If you have ready TCP/IP Vol 1 you should have no problem passing the exam. Good luck on it | |

| Well, I have one exam left for the NP. But I think if they agree to do that. they will have to tailor the NP exams. |
