Hi Lim,
I realize I'm the wrong Scott to be answering, but I found it very
interesting that Maurillo Goritos' recent "Ask The Experts" session on
Netpro actually addressed point percentages on a couple of different
occasions. Conventional wisdom I think has always held that this is NDA
stuff but Maurillo apparently doesn't view it that way. Here are a few
quotes:
"The Security topics in the lab represent about 6% to 8% of the exam and the
blueprint cover basically:
1. AAA
2. Security server protocols
3. Traffic filtering and firewalls
4. Access lists
5. Routing protocols security, catalyst security
6. CBAC
7. Other security features"
"Keep in mind that Switching and IP routing are about 70% of the exam."
One gets the impression that we could have gotten a full official record of
the current lab point breakdown if we had asked the right questions. I got
into the discussion towards the very end, though, it was too late by then.
Other things of note were that no changes to the written nor the lab
blueprint is in the offing. No changes to lab hardware are eminent or even
decided upon at this point. More lab locations are likely to be announced
in early 2008. Elvis is indeed alive and well (rooms with Hoffa). Wireless
is still under consideration for its own CCIE track or perhaps incorporation
back into R&S. The blueprint will shortly be updated to clarify a few
things to do with multicast.
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Are you able to tell how are the points allocated?
Are there going to be many tasks in a section with little points or vice
versa?
Thank you.
B.Rgds,
Lim TS
