| 18.Lab Exam Content and Equipment Changes
CCIE Candidates should note the following changes to the technical content and
equipment for the CCIE Lab exam. The content changes affect the CCIE Routing
and Switching Lab exam, while the equipment changes affect all CCIE
certification tracks.
The CCIE program continually monitors the topics and technologies covered in
the CCIE certification tracks. The end result of this process is that a topic may be
removed from the exam to allow greater emphasis on features or technologies
that are more current in the industry.
Therefore, effective November 4th, 2002, the following topics will no longer be
tested on the CCIE Routing and Switching exam:
IGRP
Token Ring
Token Ring Switching
IPX
Please note that DLSw+ will remain as a valid topic on the exam.
Between September 1, 2002 and November 4th, 2002 all CCIE labs will
replace the current Catalyst 5000 switches with Catalyst 3550 switches.
However, the only switching features tested during this time will be those
common to both devices - additional features on the Catalyst 3550 will only be
tested after November 4th, 2002.
Please note that except for the change in switches, no new topics are being
added to the content covered by the Routing and Switching exam. However,
many features currently tested will now be able to receive more weight on the
exam after November 4th.
