My is scheduled for the 15th Sept in Brussels. I have to say, I am a little concerned over the future worth of the routing and switching track - to qualify as an 'expert' level routing engineer and then no nothing of ISIS seems a little contradictory.
I understand the enterprise/service-provider specialisation that Cisco is trying to impose here, but in the real world there is a much finer line between the customer and the service provider, especially when it comes to say, MPLS implementations. Not knowing anything of what goes on 'in the cloud' is a major shortfall.
By removing ISIS, Cisco are punching a hole in the CCIE skillset that can only devalue the reputation of certified individuals. I believe it would have been better to just shift the emphasis off ISIS rather than shrinking the range of major topics to cover in preparation for the exam. Now we need to only master OSPF/RIPv2/EIGRP IGP's rather than the IGRP/RIPv1/RIPv2/EIGRP/OSPF/ISIS list that we were originally tested on.
Just my opinion though. Comments?
