Here's what Cisco says...
The RS Lab will begin REPLACING the CAT 3550 by
introducing the CAT 3560.
Does it say anything other than that?
Also the proctor's said pretty much the same thing
when I went for my lab in July 12th. That is
REPLACEMENT not addition, much in the same manner as
3640's are being washed out for 3700/3800's etc.
Now, my personal take is - it does not bother me one
iota... My experience has been to know the core items
100% and leave the worrying to others (like me my
first time through the trial of fire).
Too much exaggeration on what could be on the exam and
we should all concentrate on what IS going to be on
the exam.
Equipment is the least of our worries. Even IOS
version is second to knowing the core (basics) cold.
13 July 2006
Change to CCIE R&S Lab Equipment and IOS
Effective 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.
