CCIE实验室以及课程培训 |  | |
| Content Revision for Security Exam | | |
| | 12
MAY 2004: Effective October 1st, 2004, the content of the Security lab will be
revised. The Security lab, which was introduced in 2001, will be revised so much
of the core routing and switching is preconfigured on the devices, giving the
candidate more exam time to work on security-specific technology. Detailed information
on the Security exam can be found at Security Lab Blueprint. |
|
| New Lab Blueprints Available | | |
| | 12
MAY 2004: For the first time, the CCIE program is publishing lab blueprints to
assist candidates preparing for the challenging eight-hour lab exam. The hands-on
lab, taken in addition to a two-hour written exam, distinguishes CCIE from other
industry certifications. The blueprint is a detailed outline of topics likely
to appear on the lab exam. The topics listed are guidelines and other relevant
or related topics may also appear. In general, new product features become eligible
for testing on CCIE lab exams six months after general release.
CCIE
lab blueprints can be found online by visiting CCIE Exam Overview and clicking
on 慞reparing for the Lab Exam? for the specific track. |

|
| Revision to Security Written Exam | | |
| | 26 FEB 2004: A revision to the
CCIE Security written exam will go into production on June 1, 2004 in all testing
locations. Candidates taking the Security written exam June 1st or later should
refer to the 2.0
Security Exam Blueprint posted on the web for a description of topics that
will be covered. The 2.0 revision incorporates the current technologies enterprises
use to create highly secure business-ready networks and covers the use of standalone
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) sensors, standalone VPN concentrators, Cisco's
VPN/Security Management System (VMS), and the AES and EAP wireless protocols.
Periodic revisions to CCIE exams reflect Cisco's enduring dedication to identifying
those experts capable of implementing and maintaining secure state-of-the-art
networks in the worlds' most challenging environments. |
|
| | Voice Lab to Open in Brussels | | |
| | 12 FEB 2004: CCIE Voice candidates
will soon be able to take their lab exam in Brussels, Belgium. Online scheduling
is now available for lab examinations scheduled for April 13th, 2004 and beyond.
Candidates thinking of taking their exam in Brussels should be aware that the
$1250 US cost of the CCIE lab is subject to VAT taxes in Brussels. |
|
| | Unpaid Exams to be Automatically Dropped | | |
| | 16 JAN 2004: On May 15, 2004
the CCIE program will implement a new policy to automatically drop scheduled exams
that remain unpaid 4 weeks before the exam date. The program has always required
full payment 28 days before the exam date, but previously has not automatically
dropped unpaid exams. Instead, candidates have been required to cancel the reservation
themselves before the due date, or incur a charge for the full fee. The change
in policy will lessen the chance a candidate who decides not to take the exam,
will still end up being charged the fee. However, it also requires candidates
who do intend to take the lab to be more careful to pay by the cancellation date,
or they risk having their lab reservation cancelled. See Lab Exam:
Payment Policies for more information. |
| |
| Price Change for Sydney Lab Location | | |
| | 16 Jan 2004: 16 January 2004:
All candidates taking the CCIE lab exam in Sydney, Australia will be charged and
additional GST tax of 10%. The exam price for this location only will now be $1375.00
USD. |
| |
| | 6 Jan 2004: Certification Magazine
has released the results of their annual
salary survey --declaring CCIEs the most highly-compensated IT professionals.
Input was recevied from over 19,000 IT professionals in 136 countries. As the
editors reported: "It should come as no surprise to IT experts that earning and
maintaining professional certifications has a positive impact on their bottom
lines" and "Not surprisingly, CCIE led the pack, with an average salary of $96,870
annually." CCIE topped other popular certifications such as Nortel's Certified
Design Specialist, (ISC)2's Certified Information Security Systems Professional
(CISSP) and Check Point's security certifications.
In another recent
survey, CCIE was acknowledged as "the
number two Hottest Exam for 2004" by CertCities.com, an online journal that
tracks the intentions of professionals pursuing certification in the coming year.
These new awards, in addition to those received in November 2003 (see prior announcement)
prove that, in an industry with a proliferation of professional exams, CCIE continues
to maintain its highly coveted position at the top of the heap. |

| | | Cisco Honors CCIEs on 10th Anniversary | | |
| | 03 Nov 2003: This month Cisco
celebrates the 10th anniversary of its expert certification program, and honors
31 CCIEs with a special award marking their decade of membership in this elite
group. Cisco was one of the first to use hands-on exams to certify experts in
the configuration and testing of internetworking equipment. Today CCIE is widely
considered to be the industry's most rigorous IT certification program, and CCIEs
are required to pass recertification exams every two years. A special "10-year"
logo has been designed for those who reach their 10th anniversary, for use on
business cards and personal merchandise. |
| | | Industry Accolades for CCIE Program | | |
| | 03 Nov 2003: Last month Certification
Magazine ranked Cisco's CCIE the number one "Best Hands-On Program" and the number
one "Most Technically Advanced Program" in their Certification Top Ten lists.
"At a time when many organizations have limited IT resources, CCIE certified individuals
are able to work more efficiently and reduce the implementation risk of IT solutions
in the enterprise," says Cushing Anderson, program director of IT education and
certification research at International Data Corporation (IDC). "More and more,
complex technical environments require a higher level expertise for IT professionals
and CCIE is widely seen as the pinnacle of IT certification programs." |

|
| | CCIE C&S Track Renamed to Service Provider | | |
| | 05 SEP 2003: To align more closely
with the segment of the IT community it serves, the CCIE program will rename its
Communications and Services certification track to CCIE Service Provider. Certification
in this track indicates expert level knowledge and skill in the fundamentals of
IP and core IP technologies as well as specialized knowledge in at least one of
the networking areas specific to service providers. These areas include Dial,
DSL, Cable, Optical, WAN Switching, and IP Telephony. Candidates attain CCIE Service
Provider certification by first passing a written exam covering the specialty
area of their choosing, and then passing a hands-on lab exam which covers core
IP technologies and products. More information on the CCIE program and Service
Provider certification is available here. |

| | | Change in Administration of CCIE Recertification
Exams | | |
| | 28 APR 2003: Effective June 15,
2003, the CCIE program will discontinue the use of specific CCIE recertification

is required every two years to maintain status as an active CCIE.
One
temporary exception to this will be that the Recertification Access Exam (#350-008)
will continue to be available until September 15, 2003. The content covered on

CCIE笔试考试消息 作者:TopGun,
CCIE, 亚威讲师 文章来源：亚威CCIE俱乐部 | | |
| | 2002年10月18日，思科2002年网络大会的第2天，我参加了晚上6:00的现场的思科认证考试，考了两年必须一次的CCIE重认证，考试号是350-001,以前重认证必须考其它350系列的考试，现在考任何350系列的都可以，不过因为8月7日开始CCIE考试大纲变化，考题全面调整，题目大量更新，考试中发现，确实许多新的知识点，有些都是以前没涉及的技术，题目比起以前来，几乎全新，只有3道题左右和以前我考CCIE笔试的题目似曾相识。现场考试的有上百人，听考试管理员说，在前一天晚上（17号）有60多人考CCIE笔试，只有3个人通过。我们公司今天来了3个人，除我之外，还有两个是亚威CCIE直通车的学员，我的学生。看登记的，今天晚上考CCIE笔试的也有5、6十人吧。大概用了2个半小时考完，pass。另两个学员也都以78%和74%的分数通过(58%过)。
下面说说考试情况：
与以前相比,现在的350-001：
1.考试时间是4个小时，150道题目；以前：3小时，100道题目。
2.通过分数：58%；以前:70%(备注：听考试管理员讲，昨天有人考，仍然有人是70%过，有人却是58%过，大概是根据题目难度不同，通过比率不同，有待求证。） 3.在多选题目中，题目中明确指明要选择答案的个数；以前：CCIE多选题不指明答案个数。 4.考试题目涉及了许多新技术，但都是ccie
blueprint中要求的，比如mpls,另外multicast题目多了，bridging和tokenring 题目比以前少了一些。
5.考试参考的书籍和准备经验，这个我就没有发言权了，因为是重认证，所以我没有花时间准备，只在下午看了3个小时就去考试了，也对考试重视程度不够，不过还是pass了。其它的学员他们应该对准备过程比较了解详细，我知道的除了模拟题外，就是Cisco官方出的书<<CCIE
Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide>>，是Cisco在今年7月的为新ccie考试出的,我们公司有这本书，我简单翻过一下，知识点覆盖范围还可以。 如果还有什么问题，可以到中国Cisco论坛BBS站(telnet
bbs.ccxx.net)发信给我。 2003年12月18日

◎ 亚威CCIE俱乐部，转载必须注明出处 | | |
| | 由于官方宣布在11月4日后考试有重大变化（见下面以前的新闻），所以在11月4日后的几乎整个11月份，CCIE的考试位置大量空闲，所以本月参加CCIE的考生数量大大减少，特别是11月上半月。根据确切消息，目前CCIE
Lab考场中确实按照官方的说明在实施，无论是考试设备还是考试题目都有所变化，有关细节因为CCIE NDA协议，所以亚威俱乐部不会对外公布。根据目前的变动情况，亚威CCIE讲师分析，变动力度还不够，所以预计在下月开始会加大变化力度，即增加类似3550等新内容的新feature,提醒考生参照Networkers大会CCIE
Power Session的有关章节补充学习新的知识点。 |

| CCIE实验室设备将发生变化 版权所有
◎ 亚威CCIE俱乐部，转载必须注明出处 | | |
| |
中国CCIE考生应该注意下面关于CCIE Lab考试内容和设备的变化。考试内容的变化影响Routing and Switching的Lab考试，而实验设备的变化会影响到3类CCIE
Lab考试。
Cisco公司的CCIE专项负责小组持续关注CCIE认证考试中的技术和主题，CCIE考试更注重当前实用的技术和主题，因此，一些过时或非重要的技术将从目前的CCIE
Lab考试中去掉。
因此，从2002年11月4日起，下面的主题将不在作为CCIE Routing
and Switching exam的考试内容： IGRP
Token Ring
Token Ring Switching
IPX
注意DLSw+将仍在考试内容要求中。 在2002年9月1日至2002年11月4日期间，所有的原CCIE lab设备中的Catalyst
5000系列交换机将被Catalyst 3550系列交换机替代。在此期间，只有两类交换机都支持的技术内容才会出现在考试中，11月4日之后，另外的3550支持的功能将被包含在考试内容中。 注意此次交换机设备的变化，同原来的Routing and Switching考试相比，没有增加新的技术主题，但是许多当前测试的交换部分的考点，在11月4日之后的考试中，将占更大的比重。
另:根据来自亚威公司的内部消息和亚威CCIE分析，此次交换机设备变化可能不仅仅是简单替代，3550交换机有可能在每套Rack中有2台或多台，以更多测试交换部分的考试内容。本意见仅供参考。 |
