As a follow up to my previous comments about CCIE lab equipment... Cisco says that yes they will be replacing the Cat 5000's some time in the future and will post a notice beforehand. When that's to occur, I don't think even they know but it's definitely not October 1st. They've also indicated that there will be no PIX on the routing and switching exam. On the security exam -- yes, and that makes sense. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Leigh Anne Chisholm > Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 4:32 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Cisco Lab Info [7:21067] (and more CCIE information) > [7:21078] > > > Interesting. > > 19.
