Change to CCIE R&S Lab Equipment and IOSEffective November 13, 2006, CCIE
Routing and Switching labs will begin replacing the Catalyst 3550 by
introducing the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series enterprise-class switches.
All CCIE R&S candidates taking exams on or after that date should be familiar
with the new switches and associated IOS, although installation of the new
equipment will take place over several months and some candidates may not see
the new equipment in their exams right away. No changes are being made to the
lab exam blueprint at this time and candidates should continue to refer to the
existing CCIE R&S Lab Exam Blueprint for exam topics.
For additional details, see R&S Lab Equipment and IOS Versions on the CCIE
website.
