Perhaps -- you may be correct -- however, it is also possible that there are other justifiable reasons for the change and that the restructuring will be as arduous and thorough as the original lab. My read on what they are saying -- is that many of the fundamental tasks (static routes etc) we should have mastered (or at least familiarized ourselves with) during the CCNA/CCNP. However, I would be that while those tasks will no longer be graded -- you would still need a mastery of those basics to be able to proceed with the tasks required of a one-day lab (Hopefully!!!). Certainly the complexities of the more advanced tasks will assume a strong understanding of the basics. But we'll see!!!

[7:12926] - IGNORE THIS - JOKE [7:12975] I do believe that the format IS changing to a one day lab, so it's actually taking the piss out of the reasons Cisco are giving for changing the format... Personally, I think CCIE is THE most respected vendor certification out there, so why change what (to my mind) has been a great format for seperating the weed from the chaff?? In the end, the market will get swamped with half baked CCIE's who have no substantive real world experience and the value of the cert will go down... much like the way the MCSE went.. thats my two cents -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Larkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 July 2001 14:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: New CCIE Lab!!??!!!
