Hi.

The CCIE Theory exam is not a Certification it is actually a Lab
Qualification exam, by passing the qualification exam you are entitled to
take the LAB to attain your CCIE, calling yourself a CCIE-written is not
correct as the theory exam means nothing!

As for the CCNP track, you could do the Foundation Exam and then the support
exam.

This would then give you your CCNP.

Another option is to do your CCIP after your CCNP, this would make you more
hireable!

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
