What I meant was they will continue to offer it and when they can they will do so on the 3550 series, and go ahead and retire the 3524-PWR. > > What difference does it make which box?

It's just an exam. I think it would be even better if they mixed it up a bit and you didn't have a clue what equipment was going to be there. Since they are attempting to certify those who are taking the exam as 'experts' then it shouldn't be a problem for an 'expert'. Right now a candidate should be aware that if they have a lab date in that range then they should expect either switch. > through before study guides and bootcamps).

I actually prefer the CatOS for switching configuration. I prefer having the hybrid solution in place and I think those developing CatOS have done a fine job with it. I think maybe Cisco should reconsider the 'IOS on everything' mindset. Not everything in the world needs to run the same OS 'just because'. Cisco has not done that good of a job making the functionality and ease of use with IOS on a Catalyst that they have with CatOS.
