I am curious what peoples thought are on the retirement of CCIE/SNA, CCIE
ISP and CCIE WAN the soon to be released CCIE SP. I am looking forward to
these changes because it seems as if Cisco CCIE tracks are becoming more
relevant to the type of work that I do.
Bruce
Comprehensive CCIE Service Provider Track Planned for 2001
As market trends move toward a solutions driven approach, the CCIE program
is doing the same. The CCIE Service Provider (SP) track will become that
evolutionary vehicle and it is under development now. Because WAN Switching
and last-mile technologies such as ISP-Dial are central to SP solutions, the
need for stand-alone certifications in WAN Switching and ISP-Dial no longer
serve the industry. Therefore, both qualification exams in these areas will
go off-line worldwide on January 31, 2001, with the corresponding Lab exams
off-line on August 31, 2001.
If you are on a course for either CCIE ISP-Dial (#350-004) or CCIE WAN
Switching (#350-007) you have until January 31, 2001 to take either exam.
The CCIE ISP-Dial and WAN Switching Lab exams will be open through August
31, 2001. If you are unable to schedule or do not pass the Lab exam before
the August 31, 2001 deadline, you will automatically qualify and can
schedule the CCIE SP Lab when available. Direct your questions regarding

Stay tuned to this What's New page for up to date information on CCIE SP
structure, beta, and release. Details on the new track will be available in
February 2001.
CCIE SNA/IP Integration Exam Retired
The CCIE SNA/IP Integration Qualification and Lab exams will be retired in
2001. The written qualification exam will be available through January 31,
2001, and the lab exam through July 31, 2001. Direct your questions
