It is possible that there are a couple of test racks with newer equipment. It may be that a couple of folks have been offered the opportunity to "beta test" a CCIE lab with a 6K switch in the pod.
>From information I received from someone high in the CCIE program within Cisco itself, I learned that a small number of people received their CCIE numbers based on their passing of the one day lab "beta" prior to the official rollout in October. Cisco is always making "them changes" ;-> P.S. if Cisco were really concerned with the possible devaluing of the CCIE, they could stop most of us in our tracks by using only 65xx and 85xx equipment, ATM OCx WAN connections, and various other high end high dollar equipment. Then only those from big companies could hope to gain the necessary experience to hope to pass. But that's another topic entirely.
