Re: Lab Equipment for CCIE R&S Pre ENOUGH ALREADY

Wha?? I don't need to read the link you provided - even if I did, because of
the link's ambiguity, one could only 'assume'.

Like I wrote at the end of my last email - if I walked into the lab sometime
in mid-November, I expect to see 4 switches. The email from Tong Ma validates
that thinking - ASSUMING Tong's email wasn't doctored (which I don't believe
Gavin did in anyway).

Unfortunately, your last gripe "It's unbelievable" is, in fact, BELIEVABLE,
simply because there is wrong information being posted out there.

    Hello Gavin,
    Yes there will be 4 switches in the lab after the November upgrade and it
    will be a combination of 3550 & 3560 but we are not releasing the numbers
of
    each type being used.

    I recognize the number of switches is a different 'thread' then the model
of
    switches. But still, the reason there maybe some misinformation is
because
    of statements like the ones above.

    Again, I write this respectfully,
    Sean

    PS - my $$ is on there will be 4 switches in the lab.

    lovely...lets keep the rumors going! the 3550s WILL BE REMOVED!!! YES!
    They will be! They are BEING REPLACED by catalyst 3560s! So, for a
period
    of time, there will be 3550s in some people's labs, and 3560s in
others...

    ---------snip email from R&S head proctor----

    Hi Brad,

    CCIE R&S will start replacing the 3550s and introducing the 3560. For a
    period candidates might see 3550s and 3560s because it takes time to
    replace everything, but is not a bad idea if you go to have 3560s.

    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.

    Brian ,

    You have mentioned in the list of required equipments, SW1 , SW2 , SW3
and
    SW4.
    Which means you are expecting to have four switches in the LAB after the
    November upgrade.
    Is it confirmed or is it still a rumour.

    Regards
    Shamin
