Re: CCIE lab fee raised!

Some choose to live in reality, once you accept reality you can learn to deal
with it.

What a rare combination of speculation and sarcasm. Walking the tight rope of
humor/arrogance. Keeping the power of positive persuesion in your corner is a
far better ally.

Once it is done via Peason Vue will they be selling the actual labs to

testking etc as they do now? Can you imagine the lab will be as worthless

as an MCSE and countless other vendor certs.

I'd venture to guess that the general plan is to have the entire R&S run

on IOU...that is the direction Cisco is heading...it makes economies of

scale much easier and also enables Cisco to utilize the Pearson Vue

professional testing centers to deliver the CCIE Lab exam...yeah...it's

coming! :)

Are they implementing IOU for config section also? IOU doesn't seem to

do any hardware specific features like QoS so I don't see how they could

run it on the config section unless they just let you type the commands

like Packet Tracer and then give you an output without really doing

anything on the backend.

For those of you that recently took the lab was the TS section working

OK?

Since it is running IOU.
