General Statements and Questions
- CCIE Number Growth - cisco's opinion is that world does not have enough CCIE's to handle the growing world and all technology interaction and it intertwines where it did not use to in the past.
- There is documentation access during troubleshooting just like for the configuration section.
- Between 9 to 12 "trouble tickets" for the troubleshooting section.
- Need to pass all 3 sections individually to pass the lab, but still will not find out until after all is completed
- OEQ 4 questions, need 3 of 4 to pass, get direct to the point, i.e dont write a book
- Troubleshooting, 20-25 points, does not include switches in virtual environment, expect 30 routers, but that number to isolate trouble tickets so fixing one ticket will not effect another ticket
- Configuration, 70-75 points, items slightly lessened to account for less time allocated for this section
- MPLS is non-core topic and will simply need base configurations, as well as other new topics
- Configuration portion will be looked at to move to virtualized environment like the troubleshooting section, but no plans at this time
