Allright. Sean Knox has pretty much nailed it on the head. But let me try one more time.
To become a R/S CCIE you must #1) pass the R/S written #2) pass the R/S lab To become a Security CCIE you must #1)pass the Security written #2) pass the Security lab To become a C/S CCIE you must #1)Pass one of 8 possible C/S writtens - or - have passed either the old ISPDial or WAN-switching CCIE writtens back when they were still available (so if you have never done this, then unless you have a time machine, you cannot do it now) #2)Pass the C/S lab. Bottom line - the labs are absolutely NOT the same for all three, believe me. I've tried all 3 labs, and they are significantly different. There are some base-level similarities, but beyond that they are quite divergent. If you don't believe me, read their descriptions: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/certifications/services.html#4 http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/certifications/routing.html#4 http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/certifications/security.html#4 ""Sean Knox"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > The lab is not the same for all three.
