Re: MPLS in CCIE [7:36682]
So to answer your original question, yes! So what do you have to study. Well you might want to know how to set up simple label switching. This includes P and PE. You might also want to setup VPNs using OSPF and IS-IS as the transit IGP. You might also want to set it up using MP-BGP. Also play with label stacking. You will want to setup both frame mode and cell mode and inter-mix the two. You might try MPLS-TE over OSPF and IS-IS single and multi-area. You might want to also play around with LSP leaking into the IGP. This will change you IGP database and create short cuts. I do not think you will see any Layer 2 MPLS technologies, since the web page says 12.1 or lower code. So no EoMPLS or AToM or QinQ. Since the CS covers QOS/Multicast/MPLS/Advanced BGP and IS-IS and other topics, I would think it represents a fairly current offering from most Service Providers today. The RS should have MPLS, although the most Enterprises are not deploying MPLS like SPs are. Are they a slowly adopting it! As far as the Juniper exam. If you look at which is recognized by the people that hire us poor engineers, most now know what a CCIE is, hm, not sure about JNCIE or whatever it is! Also, how many non-SP companies have Juniper in their networks-very few!

um...I work with Optical/voice/cable/dsl.. I didn't know about this cert but it sounds pretty good. I'm concentrating on the R/S right now because I believe that it is a good foundation to expand from. I work for a Cable/Telephone/Broadband Internet company that offers all 3 services over a single coax to your residence. We also have a large fiber ring around Kansas City that we light via ONS 15454's. Offer traditional TDM services and some metro ethernet. We also own a sister company that my group is responsible for that delivers the converged services via VDSL. I moved into this environment from an enterprise environment and I'm having a blast. Everything is new and exciting with technology galore to learn. The point of this post was to say that there are some of us out there that would be a good fit for the CCIE C/S.

Re: MPLS in CCIE [7:36682]
Uh, Are you sure? Take a look at the C/S lab requirements. Not the written requirements, but the lab requirements. Notice how the lab has practically nothing to do with the written(s). Part of the great confusion over the C/S program is the fact that it has 8 possible writtens (each one concentrating on one particular provider technology - like you mentioned: optical, dial, DSL, etc.). But then the lab has nothing to do with any of those technologies, and concentrates on those niche provider applications that I mentioned before. No matter whether you passed the written for optical, or the written for dial, or whatever, you still end up taking the same C/S lab as everybody else, which by the way has nothing to do with optical, or dial, or whatever you did. This stands as a far cry from, say, R/S or the Security CCIE program, where the written actually is tied fairly closely to the lab. Again, this further adds to the confusion and muddling of the program. By becoming a fully-fledged C/S CCIE, you have not demonstrated hands-on competence in the ONS series, or the Stratacom stuff, or the Cisco DSL stuff, or whatever. You have demonstrated only book knowledge. Like I said, if you don't believe this, take a look at the lab requirements carefully. travis marlow wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]; um...I work with Optical/voice/cable/dsl..

Re: MPLS in CCIE [7:36682]
I suppose the philosophical question is whether the CCIE a forward looking or backward looking cert? I am under the impression that Cisco originally geared the test around what a significant number of Cisco large customers were running. I'm sure there are still Vines networks around. I'm not sure if PGE, for example, ever got around to migrating away from Vines. Let alone Nature's Conservancy. Hell, there might even be a few XNS networks out there somewhere. Especially now that the Lab format is one day, Cisco can't test for everything. They have to focus. So it becomes a matter of what's important. Sooner or later ( and this will be bad news for most of us ) Cisco is also going to have to migrate the Lab pods to more current equipment. Either that or tacitly admit that a lot of the high end solutions they hawk are really not all that important. Another tack they might take is to create CCIE tracks for every specialty that comes along - voice, WAN, QoS, wireless, VPN, etc. But I'm not sure I agree that just because there are people out there running obsolete technologies, that the CCIE Lab should test those technologies. IBM now runs Linux on some of their mainframe products. Token ring and DLSw are dying. The future is IP. Sure the legacy stuff will hang on for a while yet. But seeing as CCIE skills are as much a marketing strategy for Cisco as a resource for customers, I would think that older technologies will have to yield their place in the lab for the new stuff that Cisco counts on for future revenue. Just my couple of cents. Chuck David C Prall wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]; Steven, I don't know if it is outdated or not. I still have customers running Vines, DecNet, IPX and AppleTalk.

Re: MPLS in CCIE [7:36682]
Well no, I would actually argue that right now the Juniper JNCIE is the better way to go, for a number of reasons. Yeah yeah, I know I'm going to get flamed for that (and already had been, on previous occasions when I said this). But the fact is, not only is the JNCIE program is testing on the more recent technologies that you said you wanted to look into, but again, the fact that the C/S program is highly muddled and confused (they keep changing the focus of that exam, I can't tell you much more due to NDA), and the fact that the test grading procedure has been, suffice it to say, rather controversial - I'll just leave it at that. The point is that because of these factors, the C/S has so far gained essentially no traction and recognition within the service-provider market it supposedly caters to. I've noticed that providers will either have no idea what the C/S progam is and just assume you're talking about the R/S, or they do know, and therefore know how confused the program is.

Re: MPLS in CCIE [7:36682]
You are correct to say that at this time, the demand for C/S guys is very low (essentially non-existent), for 3 main reasons, I believe. #1, the service-provider job market right now is total crap. #2 - to compound that problem the technologies that exam is based on are truly bleeding edge even for the service-provider such that there isn't exactly a groundswell demand for those particular skills. So we're talking about a particularly bad segment of a particularly bad job market. And of course #3 - Cisco hasn't exactly done the best job in marketing the C/S. Seriously I can find very few people who know what it is, even people working in the service-provider space.

I agree with you. However, they are required only in the written exam. A lot of them (i.e. DECnet, VINES and even X.25 and Appletalk) were removed from the lab and are still only inthe written.
