Wow, I didn't know that the IE applied to the DP track as well.

I received my recert email and it had this statement...

*CCIE Candidates:

If you are currently certified as a CCIE and continue to maintain your CCIE
certification you will NOT be required to recertify in your Associate or
Professional level certifications (CCNA, CCNP, CCDA, CCDP, CCIP) CCIE
designations are valid for two years. To recertify as a CCIE, you will be
required to take the written CCIE recertification exam. No lab is required
for CCIE recertification.
For information about earning your CCIE certification, or for information on
CCIE recertification, see www.cisco.com/go/ccie.

Hope that helps.
Eric

Do you have a CCO link that shows this? I haven't found official word
that it's the case. My NP/DP are both due to expire this October, and
I just completed recert on my CCIE. Too soon to see it on the tracking
system, they say to give it ten days.

The CCIE and "Career certifications" tracks have traditionally been
disconnected from each other in the past.

I don't feel that it's really all that important to renew the NP/DP
once you have the CCIE, but I can imagine some clueless employer's
HR department rejecting a CCIE because the job requirements state
that a CCNP is required. Not sure if I'd want to work in such a
place but you never know.
