I'm not sure which "a CCIE" you are speaking to. But, not only does Cisco
allow it, it happens.

If you want something to worry about, check out Mr. Reese and his "don't pay
for licenses but Cisco should support the 3rd party market gear" mantra.
That has way more wide spread impact on the community and economy.

This topic touches on basic ethics and I would hope a CCIE would have a
higher standard.

Is it right for a company to just buy a CCIE number to get the partner
discounts and deceive their clients by claiming to be a gold partner or such
without really having the resources on hand?

To me, this just seems fundamentally wrong.

Yes it is. I would recommend not using that service you listed. You can
easily find someone to take it if you are in a major metro area by asking
around and possible even from your local Cisco office.

Normal rates are $2-3k/month with a 12 month contract.

Hey all. As per my post last week, I passed the lab and now have an
unassigned CCIE number (I paid for study and lab myself). I'm now in a
position where I'm weighing up my options. Is it possible to 'rent' out my
CCIE number to a company, whilst still remaining employed by my present
employer? I have heard of rentacert.com but people seemed skeptical of it.

Let me stress, I DO NOT WANT TO VIOLATE ANY CISCO POLICIES and if renting
out a cert is doing so, I WILL NOT DO IT. However, if it is possible/legal
and people out there do it, can they kindly explain how it works. I want to
get as much value out of my cert as possible.

Thanks for ANY advice
