RE: CCIE Wireless

Hehe.I know someone was going to feed this.

Yes and no. R/S isn't dead in the market (or almost). And, the cert is
still active.

There is very little LLC2 and TIC attached stuff these days. I can't
remember the last time I've seen a TR segment or a 3920.

If you are an old school CCIE that hasn't added to your knowledge since you
passed (tech, presales, whatever), then you are a washed up CCIE. Has
nothing to do with the cert being active.

Since we're playing with that gauntlet a little bit.... Wouldn't the same
logic hold true for R&S folks certified before (insert floating date
here)???

There are several irrelevant topics that were on my lab exam compared to
today's "accepted blueprint". Regarding some other things though, like the
SNA CCIE... I'd venture to say that if you and someone with that were both
working for a major bank/automotive/anyone with significant mainframes, they
would be doing actual work while you stared at strange numbers.

It's all perspective, but I would assume nothing just based on what CCIEs
someone has, or when they were certified!

Not to take away from any holder of older CCIEs, but I put more weight in
current ones as they reflect the market.
 
IMO, Dial and SNA are in the same class as my initial Brocade certs, NT4
MCSE and 4.1 CNE. Great for drinkin' and telling stories but shouldn't be
considered in a CCIE race.
 
The current program should be the standard.
