I realize I'm stepping into this discussion late, but I figured I'd chime in
here since I have something to contribute. I spoke with proctors and others
involved with the CCIE program at Networkers last July. They told the group
of us in the CCIE Techtorial that IPv6 would be worth no more than 3-5
points initially. That constrains it pretty tightly, I think--and is also
consistent with the concept of replacing the voice points with IPv6 points.
Now, in a year or two, it may be an entirely different story. But I think
(and hope) that what Cisco does with IPv6's role in the CCIE R&S lab exam
will mirror what the industry is doing--which is to say, moving very slowly.

Rus

I'm just worried that everything is a likely target (DHCP, NAT, BGP, ISIS &
RIP, Multicast, etc....). But, realizing that Voice was never weighted too
highly on the old exam, how much can Cisco shove in to the same point values
(assuming Cisco leaves the different areas weighted the same)? If the point
values are the same, I can only assume Cisco would throw 2 or 3 things on
the
lab (maybe a routing protocol, interface addressing and QoS for example).
I'm using the documentation on the CD and NMC's Lab 23 as starting points to
learn IPv6. NMC's latest lab uses a variety of IPv6 tasks - more than I
hope
are on the real lab. I didn't know if anyone had any other suggestions on
good material to use to help gain a decent skill-set. I'm fully prepared to
step into the lab again except for this one subject.
Thanks in advance,
Sean
