Guys,
Given the list of topics on the C&S, I think it would be wise to offer some
labs based on it. Look at the following:
Frame relay
ISDN
ATM
RIP
OSPF
IS-IS
BGP
Multicast
MPLS
QoS
These are the main topics of C&S. There is a lot of interest lately in QoS
and Multicast in both the SP and Enterprise areas. MPLS is really an SP
topic, but there is much interest in it as well.
As far as which CCIE is more valuable, I agree with the notion that the
question should be "More valuable to whom?". AT&T, Sprint, Qwest, etc.
would probably be more interested in a C&S whereas others would probably
prefer an R&S. One thing to consider, however, is that some of the R&S
topics are legacy protocols which are on their way out (DLSW, IPX, etc.).
C&S topics are current or just-emerging technologies.
Regards,
Scott King

Hey Brad,
No, I kind of agree with you on the Security Cert being more valuable in the
open market. I think this is just a good progression
track for many. As far as C/S, it is good for the Service Provider people.
I have a buddy that works in another building and
is a CCNP WAN but they took the CCIE WAN track away before he can start it.
The big thing about the WAN was the availability
of the equipment and he had access to quite a handful of stratacoms but that
does not matter now. So the closest thing
he can now go for is the C/S CCIE. Which the stratacoms only come in to
play as a written portion but it is the closest thing
for him.
I will check out the rack info.
thanks
Paul

congrats! As a matter of fact, YES, we are going to offer (2) racks for the
CCIE Security track. We are in the process of announcing our CCIE Security
lab package as well. You can find out more info at:
http://www.ccbootcamp.com/securitylab.html As far as the C/S track goes, it
looks quite a bit more involved than the Security or R&S certs, so Im going
to stay away from it for now. My current consulting clients fit very nicely
with the Security cert, so it wasn't too bad to prepare for. Although, I
did attempt the ISP Dial lab over a year ago, and I said that was going to
be my last trip to visit Building C in San Jose...so I guess you never know!
Plus, I don't think my girlfriend can take anymore of me being so stressed
out! :) I think the R&S and Security are more valuable in the general
consulting market. I could be distorted by my current projects, so if I'm
off base, please let me know. I don!
t !
know how applicable C/S is for the general public. Is there that much
interest in the C/S track??? (Even if I am the same moron that thought
ISP/Dial would be huge...)
thanks,
