CCIE lab version 4 to 5

Hi Rauf

Where did you hear that the CCIE lab version was changing?

There have been a couple of discussions about this recently and the conclusion was that no change has been announced by Cisco.

Well... Sometime in the future, yes, the lab version and the blueprint will change. We will face new topics, some will be removed and we'll probably see a change in the equipment list.

Whenever this happens, probably 90% of the blueprint for the v5.0 will be the same as it is now.

Keep doing the hard work and don't worry too much about exam blueprint changes. You will have a 6-months warning before it happens :-)

Hi Rauf,

As some of the users have mentioned, there is currently no information to indicate any upcoming changes to the CCIE R&S Lab Exam.

Users can expect an advance notice from Cisco if there are planned changes to the lab exam. This will give users ample time to prepare for the upcoming changes.

You may refer to the current CCIE R&S exam topics by clicking on the link provided by Ismail above.

If I remember correctly, when cisco launched ver 4 they said that lab is going to be more dynamic now and we should expect some changes in every 9-12 months. Recently or few months back they added L2 TS. So for minor changes if doubt they gonna give 6 months time in prior.

Also I really hope Cisco will make lab changes in every 9 months to keep things in shape and to match up with market requirements.

HTH...

Rauf,

I am really excited about the change... first of all... I have time for 3 more tries on the current version.... hoping I only need one more try... but I'll pass.

I honestly am bummed because I would absolute love it if I got a certification which tested me and marked me as an expert on the new topics. It's a bit sad we can't do the lab again after we pass it... just for thrills. I actually like exams and passing them and the challenges they present and I hope I get a chance someday to see this one with its changes... but only if I can take it again to "up my cert" not because I failed v4 again haha

Hello,

If I pass the written exam in Version.4 but fail in the lab, do I have to re-enter the written exam Verison.5 after 4th of June 2014?

BR,

Fatih, you can mix and match the exams as you prefer.  You can take version 4.0 Written exam and version 5.0 Lab exam.  If you check the link from Howard's post, you'll find the official information.
