Hmmm,

That's interesting. If the proctors specifically state that it's not on the lab anymore why doesn't Cisco simply put it on the list of excluded protocols like they did with IGRP, Token Ring, IPX, LANE, Appletalk and all the other "old school" stuff they don't want you to bother with anymore.

If this is official Cisco policy, then why not announce it publicly on the CCIE pages?

RIPv1 was taken off the lab over a year ago. This is not a violation of the
NDA. I've taken it four times and the proctor specifically states before you
take the exam that there's no RIPv1. Don't worry about it. Don't study it.
Let it die.

topic, since it's not in the blueprint.

of future labs at Cisco's will, since it is not on the list of excluded
topics and is configurable on the equipment.

for a bit to get a feel for typical peculiarities of a classfull protocol,
but don't spend weeks on it.
