RE: RIPv1 on the Lab

In my opinion, RIPv1 should still be tested in the lab. RIPv1 has lots of intricacies in understanding the logic taking place inside the router which, to me, is ultimately what the CCIE is testing. Not only that, but many, many companies out there are still running RIPv1, either due to support on legacy equipment or just because there is no business need to upgrade. I see engineers all the time that have no idea how RIPv1 works, and they have one heck of a time getting an application to communicate with it because they simply don't understand the internal logic.
 
I'd much rather see IS-IS be dropped from the R&S and left for the Service Provider exam, while keeping RIPv1 in the R&S. I think it would force R&S CCIE's to have a much better understanding of the protocols that will help them in the real world within the scope of an enterprise, where I believe the focus is for the CCIE R&S.
 
Just my $0.02.
 
Ken

Quite welcome. I hated RIPv1 anyway.

RIPv1 is OFF the lab. Don't bother with it. The proctor has told me in
each of my three attempts that this is so.

If you plan to be a CCIE, I hope you can manage a rip setup ;-) I'd be
ready for it myself. You might actually see it in the real world as
well.
