Interesting. 19. Will I need to prepare any differently for the new format exams? No. Only the format of the exam itself has changed. The knowledge and skills required to pass are the same in the old and new formats. There's no reference to the fact that the equipment list is being revised as was reported earlier by Brad Ellis (http://www.groupstudy.com/archives/cisco/200108/msg03300.html) so I wouldn't necessarily think that you should run out and buy a PIX and try and get some hands-on on a 6509. I've got an email into Cisco asking if the equipment is changing as was rumored. There has been another question circulating around this list--specifically, what happens if you lose your CCIE certification--does your number get released back into the pool or do you get to keep that number if you end up recertifying again. The answer according to the people I've emailed at Cisco is that the number is yours. If you recertify, you get it back. The other question I asked Cisco was about whether you could call yourself a CCIE if you have a status of "suspended" (your two years has elapsed and you're in the 1 year grace period to complete the recertification exam) or "inactive" (you've failed to successfully complete the recertification exam). Again, the answer I received was that once you're a CCIE, you're always a CCIE. You must however clarify your status so that you don't mislead anyone. If you're inactive, you must clarify that fact. If you're suspended, likewise. Hope that helps answer all of those CCIE mysteries... > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Wright, Jeremy > Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 3:43 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Cisco Lab Info [7:21067] > > > Team, thought you might be interested in some of this info if you weren't > already aware... > > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/ccie_program/new_format.html Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=21078&t=21078 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
