Re: CCIE Written Beta [7:41827]
Hi, I am not being able to find the exam (351-001) in the Prometric list of available exams. What was the tile/exam nr. that you used to register for the exam ? Many thanks. Zahid Bernard Omrani wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... I took the CCIE written beta exam on Tuesday. 150 questions in 180 minutes. I can't think of any area in networking that was not covered in this exam, including VoIP, MPLS, Security, 6500 Switch (MSFC), IPX, (several FDDI questions, believe it or not), X.25, Frame Relay (CAR, TS, Queuing), ATM (AALx in detail), Ethernet, TCP/IP, (OSPF + IS-IS + EIGRP + BGP in detail), Multicasting (extensively) Detailed OSPF means knowing all LSA types inside out.

Detailed BGP means, not only knowing its fundamentals, but also some advanced commands that are even hardly used in the CCIE lab. Commands like bgp deterministic med (NDA: not exact same command). There were at least 5 questions on IS-IS. IMHO, the questions were tough, excellent, real-world, and very challenging. There were very few ambiguous questions. Out of 150 questions, about half of them came with diagrams or router configurations, or show outputs. Most of the pitfalls and tricks that one faces in the CCIE lab are covered in this exam. I dare to say that each question is a small scenario/lab by itself. Keeping the ISDN line quiet, controlling the PVCs in Frame Relay, redistribution between routing protocols (subnets in OSPF, no auto-sum and metrics in EIGRP, default-information originate BGP, passive interfaces, loops, recursive tunnels.) I have always advised my students to go for CID exam before attempting the CCIE written. CID would give the student almost 80% of the knowledge needed to pass the CCIE written. That rule does not apply to this new written exam. The closest exam that I can point out is: the CCIE lab. A word of advice to those who have already passed the written: Do not let it expire! A word of advice to those who are planning to take the exam: Take it before the new format is introduced!

AFAIK, it's not listed on their website at all. You need to call (800) 204-EXAM and register over the phone using 351-001. Mike W.
