no no no - read CCO and what it says. during the period Sept 1 through Nov 4 the equipment will be swapped. It won't happen in every rack in every location on the same day.
There are some places where the 3550 is already in place. RTP, for example, so folks have said - here on this list and elsewhere. CCO also states quite clearly that L3 features will not be tested until after November 4. Prior to November 4, if you encounter a 3550, you will be responsible for configuring features that are common with the 5000. For example, VTP, vlans, management interface, multicast, bridging, etc. "Between September 1, 2002 and November 4th, 2002 all CCIE labs will replace the current Catalyst 5000 switches with Catalyst 3550 switches. However, the only switching features tested during this time will be those common to both devices - additional features on the Catalyst 3550 will only be tested beginning November 4th, 2002." This is quite plain. There is no ambiguity unless you're a lawyer. ;-> BTW, you can always call the place where you are taking your Lab, and get in contact with the proctor. I don't believe it is NDA for them to tell you if the 3550 has been installed.
