CCIE R&S Version 4 Beta Review
https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/8262
A review covering a Beta experience of the CCIE R&S updates over at the Cisco Learning Network by
"For those who don’t know me, I’ve been a CCIE since mid-2002 and am the co-author of several CiscoPress books, including “CCIE Route/Switch Exam Certification Guide 4th edition”, “Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers”, and “CCNP Quick Reference Sheets”. I recently took the beta of the new version 4.0 CCIE R/S lab exam to offer feedback to Cisco. With their approval, I'd like to offer my impressions to those preparing for, or considering, the CCIE R/S lab exam. A big caveat – my job does not routinely involve configuration anymore, and I didn’t get a chance to study until on the flight there, so a prepared candidate’s experience will definitely vary from mine!
Overall, I was favorably impressed. It has some cool and interesting new features. The most visible difference is the computer interface. All documentation is web-based now, including the lab instructions. No more binder on the desk. The main web page has the overall diagram and links to instructions and documentation. You click on a router to open a SecureCRT console session with it. There is also a link to manage the devices (reboot one, for example.) You can access CCO documentation from a link on the main page also. You can’t search CCO, though, unfortunately.
I didn’t know what to expect from the core questions since they weren’t on the lab when I took it seven years ago, but I thought they would be trivial. They weren’t. But they also were well within what one would expect someone sitting the exam to know easily.
The two-hour troubleshooting section is new for the one-day exam and follows the core questions. There are multiple trouble tickets, all relating to the same network so you don’t have to learn a new network for each one. You can do them in any order. I felt that the questions were fairly representative of things you might run across in a production environment. If you’ve set up your own lab and done all the experimenting you should while studying, you’ve probably already made most possible mistakes anyway! Probably the best way to ace the troubleshooting section is to have a very in-depth knowledge of all the technologies covered in the lab. One thing you should know is that the computer closes the exam exactly at the end of two hours. You don’t have any wiggle room to finish things up, so keep an eye on the time. If you finish early, you can end that portion and start the configuration portion of the lab.
The configuration portion is the last 5 ½ hours. I found it easy to get used to the web interface and having the instructions on the screen rather than on paper. The monitor screens are big enough that you can have multiple windows open at once. However, it was annoying to move the windows to see the lab diagram. If the actual lab doesn’t offer a paper version of the diagram, I recommend that you draw your own. The equipment was sometimes a little slow in responding to commands, because the actual routers and switches are in San Jose and I took the exam in RTP. It was nothing to worry about, just something to be aware of. I think the equipment has been remote for a while now, so if you’ve taken the lab recently then it’s familiar to you. The equipment sat beside us when I took my lab. There are some new technologies in the blueprint, and the configuration part is two hours shorter, so one would expect that portion to be scaled back somewhat.
Studying for version 4.0 should be no different than studying for the CCIE lab has always been - know the core routing, switching, and WAN technologies cold. Practice them until you can do them in your sleep. Then tackle all the other things on the blueprint, paying attention to the odd and unusual things you can do with them. As always, having a strong understanding of as many technologies, techniques, and IOS features as possible gives you time to research the tasks you’ve never heard of.
Good luck with your exam! I'm interested to hear about your experiences with it!

- Equipment upgrade to ISR running 12.4(T) and 3560 Catalyst IOS 12.2 Advanced IP Services
- Scenario based questions added to Written Exam
- Troubleshooting added to Lab Exam, to be done on virtual environment like dynamips but better
- Less emphasis on professional level tasks
- Lab exam to remain 8 hours, short answer - 30 min, troubleshooting- 2 hours, configuration- 5.5 hours
- Troubleshooting includes multiple scenarios described through "trouble tickets" to diagnose and resolve faults on preconfigured topology, network must be operational to receive credit
- CCIE v4.0 blueprint publsihed May 5, 2009 and exames will be released on October 18, 2009
- Troubleshooting scenario coverage
Rick Smith
- Cisco 360 Learning Program and 4.0 changes
- Enhanced preassessment lab, performance assessments, and revised instructor-led workshops
- 5 additional lab added to workbook, 2 new self-paced lessons, and new content to reference library
- Cisco 360 LabSafe Program to cover a failed lab attempt, for those who complete all 4 performance labs and score 80% on 1 of them, and have instructor recommendation.
- Cisco 360 program coming to Security track in 2010, and announcements to come in ~November
- Cisco 360 LabSafe program will expire July 31st 2010
- Cisco 360 LabSafe program is not available to Cisco Employees
Brad Ellis
- Why did CCBOOTCAMP join the Cisco 360 Program
- High quality contentn alignedd with the exam, dedicated development team of CCIEs, and auto graded assessment lab
- Expecting CCIE Lab to change more frequently
- 11 years of CCIE training experience, largest authorized provide in the world, instructors are also field engineers, $7M in Cisco lab hardware, and a dedicated student coordinator
- Offer written Exam preparation and boot camp
- Discussed lab approach and methodology
Dawn Tesar
- Discussed CCBOOTCAMP training options
- 3 learning options, self-paced, self-paced with instructor led training, and instructor training only.
- 3 learning packes, premium, preferred, and essentials
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
