It used to be that you could pass the CCIE written with detailed industry/technical knowledge and very little Cisco knowledge. In fact, I did. I passed it when I was a Cisco newbie due to my detailed knowledge of Token Ring and IPX! ;-) (Alas, the lab scared me off though.) If the test is much more product-focused and requires nit-picky Cisco-specific knowledge now, then I agree with you that it's a shame. But, hey, you just study what you need to study and then prepare for the biggie (the lab). Even if you end up with knowledge and skills that are skewed towards Cisco, that's OK. This field is skewed towards Cisco too. And the CCIE certification garners huge amounts of respect throughout the industry (and hopefully $$$s in salary), despite being Cisco-skewed. So, stop your whining and get to work! :-) Priscilla > > > You are correct to say that the CCIE written exam, at least in > the past, had > some serious problems.
