Thanks for the clarification.

Asunto: RE: Simple question about the new Cisco CCIE LAB blueprint

I would not bother attempting the "new" exam until I considered myself
possessing "deep" knowledge of routing protocols mentioned on the
Blueprint.

Routing protocols are still the "heart and soul" of this test. Sure, the
exam is more vast now with other topic areas such as QoS and Security -
but you must forget that and become "expert-level" with routing and
switching first.

Just my opinion of course....

Subject: Simple question about the new Cisco CCIE LAB blueprint

Hello everyone.

I will have the CCIE LAB test the next May 3th. I am studying according
to
the new blue print however I have a question in regard of the routing
protocol.

I do have experience on routing and switching but not that deep to
troubleshoot a complex BGP/OSPF network.

My question is, with the new rules ?Do I need deep routing knowledge? If
so
?On what protocols and how deep?

My point of view is, if Cisco will test my knowledge on GRE tunnels and
network functionality, I must have routing troubleshooting knowledge but
not
BGP, OSPF deep knowledge.

Please advice.
