All,
A couple of weeks ago, I passed the JNCIE-ER exam. Some of you have asked me
to post a message about this cert, so here it is.
In my opinion the Juniper JNCIE tracks are a good supplement for all the
existing Cisco IE's out there and should be considered CCIE equivalent. For
the JNCIE-M there is a prerequisite written exam called the JNCIS-M and a
practical exam called JNCIP-M.
(I wonder if passing the JNCIE-ER exam will remove the JNCIP-M prerequisite
for attending the JNCIE-M exam??).
For the JNCIE-ER the prerequisite is passing only a single written exam
(JNCIS-ER), just like with the Cisco CCIE stuff.
The JNCIE-M can be considered as CCIE Service Provider equivalent, except
less topics are tested (see the blueprint for both exams).
The JNCIE-ER can be considered as the CCIE Routing and Switching equivalent,
except no switching at the moment. I expect that the new Juniper EX series
switches, which have just been released will visit the ER blueprint some day
;-) Instead for the Layer 2 stuff, the ER examination has technologies like
"IPSec and statefull firewall" on the blueprint.
From what I've heard is that Juniper will also release a new JNCIE track for
security this year.
BTW, at the moment the JNCIA-ER and JNCIS-ER examination are free. After
passing an online test at www.juniper.net/fasttrack, a VUE or Prometric
voucher code will be mailed to you). Study material for the JNCIA-ER and
JNCIS-ER can also be downloaded from the juniper website.

Hope this info helps...
