Hi Rick,

Of course you can claim that without violating the NDA. Simply making
claims out of the blue without explaining how you came to this marvelous
insight can never be considered breaking the NDA.

All I was saying (if you even bothered to read my post) is that if
somebody would make a statement on this list as to if RIPv1 was on the
specific exam that they took, it could be considered an NDA violation.

For reference have a look at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/learning/le3/ccie/exam/violation_rules.html

Even though this is not the actual agreement itself it pretty clearly
states:

- Discussions concerning test content with anyone other than the proctor
without express written permission from the CCIE department
- Posting of test content to study groups internal to Cisco or external
to Cisco with the exception of ccie-lab@cisco.com
- Forwarding of test information to persons or companies without the
express written permission of the CCIE program

Of course making statements about a certain topic (like RIPv1) being on
your test would be a very minor infraction and I don't think Cisco would
come after you in full force.

Of course I could be wrong here. I'm not a lawyer, but please be kind
enough to point out exactly where my reasoning goes wrong instead of
making blanket statements and claiming I have never read the NDA (which
of course I did when I took the test, though I must admit I may not
remember every single word since I had other things to exercise my
brains with that day).

Regards,

Tom

It appears most of the people who claim something violates the NDA has
never
read it. I will say very loud and clear, without violating the NDA, that
RIPv1 is not on the CCIE R&S lab.
