Semantics. Wait and see. Just remember that it IS a routing AND switching
exam. So be prepared for anything, and you won't be disappointed! ;)

Subject: RE: Cisco 3550's are not being removed from the LAB
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.
