Jonathan,
the ccnp and ccie are different certification tracks. "ccie-written" is not
a certification at all, it is merely a qualification test to show that you
have certain concepts memorized and that you qualify to take the lab. So
basically, if you took the written qualification test and then passed the
lab. You'd be a CCIE. It doesn't make you a CCNP although experience shows
that if one can pass the CCIE lab, you'd have a pretty darn good shot at
CCNP.
You can take either all four seperate tests for ccnp (routing, switching,
remote access, support) or just take the foundation test and then support to
get you your CCNP.

Subject: cert quest
i passed my ccna and ccie written in 99 (skipped other ccxx)
i want to get my ccnp now
what test(s) do i need to pass now
it looks like just 2: 640-841 Foundations, and 640-606 Support
but what if i just do the ccie written, will that make me a ccnp
as i recall the ccie written was easy, but it did not make me a ccxx, it
actually did not make me anything
so i called myself ccie-written
i don't think the lab cost increase can be justified
so i am just going to do the writtens
er, how much are they now
but "ccie-written" has not seemed to help my hirability so i think ccnp
might
does this make sense
thnx
