- Just a theoretical question:
The triple CCIE that works for Cisco has both ISP-DIAL,
and WAN. Will he become a dual again? Meaning R/S +
Service Provider?
This must be a plot thing by Cisco. . .

Subject: Two CCIE Certification tracks to be retired
Not sure if this info has been posted here yet...
If any of you are studying for the CCIE ISP/Dial (like me) or the CCIE WAN
certifications, you'd better hurry up.
Cisco has announced that these two certifications are to be retired, with
the last day to take the written qualifications being 1/31/2001, and the
last day to take the lab exams being 8/31/2001. If you don't pass the lab by
8/31, you're out of luck.
These tracks are to be updated and consolidated into one CCIE SP
certification, with the release date for this pending.
Here is the announcement from CCO:
Comprehensive CCIE Service Provider Track Planned for 2001
As market trends move toward a solutions driven approach, the CCIE program
is doing the same. The CCIE Service Provider (SP) track will become that
evolutionary vehicle and it is under development now. Because WAN Switching
and last-mile technologies such as ISP-Dial are central to SP solutions, the
need for stand-alone certifications in WAN Switching and ISP-Dial no longer
serve the industry. Therefore, both qualification exams in these areas will
go off-line worldwide on January 31, 2001, with the corresponding Lab exams
off-line on August 31, 2001.
If you are on a course for either CCIE ISP-Dial (#350-004) or CCIE WAN
Switching (#350-007) you have until January 31, 2001 to take either exam.
The CCIE ISP-Dial and WAN Switching Lab exams will be open through August
31, 2001. If you are unable to schedule or do not pass the Lab exam before
the August 31, 2001 deadline, you will automatically qualify and can
schedule the CCIE SP Lab when available. Direct your questions regarding
program changes to ccie@cisco.com.
Stay tuned to this What's New page for up to date information on CCIE SP
structure, beta, and release. Details on the new track will be available in
February 2001.
