Cisco CCIE Updates Lab Exam Equipment and IOS

16 AUG 2005: Effective January 1, 2006 all CCIE Routing and Switching
lab locations will begin introducing the Cisco 3825 Integrated Services
Router into the exam racks. These routers support Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and will eventually replace the
Series 2600 and Series 3600 models. Along with the router change, the
CCIE R&S lab will be upgrading the IOS to 12.3 mainline (for the Cisco
2600 and 3600 Series Routers), 12.4 mainline (for Cisco 3700 and 3800
Series Routers) and 12.2 for Cisco Catalyst 3550 switches.

All CCIE R&S candidates taking exams January 1, 2006 or later should be
familiar with the updated IOS and equipment, although the installations
to replace the routers will take place over several weeks and it is
possible some candidates may not see the new equipment in their exams.
