Cisco kì này như muốn nâng giá trị CCIE lên thêm 1 bậc,vì muốn đạt được CCIE RS v4.0 thì ko chỉ phải nắm rõ các khái niệm để cấu hình,mà còn phải nắm kĩ cơ chế hoạt động của các giao thức để troubleshoot.
Có vẻ như,ứng cử viên cho CCIE RS v4.0 là những người đã đi làm từ lâu có nhiều KN,hơn là những người ngày đêm tu luyện kiến thức.Chết rồi! vậy thì plan của em phải có nhiều thay đổi lớn rồi :))

**dangquangminh** · 08-05-2009, 10:28 PM

Việc bắt đầu bài thi lab bằng phần troubleshooting là quá khó. Phải tìm ra khoảng 3 bugs trong sơ đồ mạng 8-9 routers và 4 switch được cấu hình sẵn dưới áp lực thời gian. Nhiều khi cũng không hiểu hết yêu cầu của đề bài phải troubleshoot cái gì. ;-).

Cisco Revising CCIE R&S Certification

Cisco Revising CCIE R&S Certification

The upcoming Version 4.0 of Cisco CCIE® Routing and Switching certification will test hands-on troubleshooting, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and VPN networking

Thí sinh thi CCIE từ ngày 18/10/2009 sẽ chịu những thay đổi sau (cả đối với Written và LAB):

To reflect the growth of the network as a service platform, Cisco is revising the certification requirements for CCIE Routing & Switching (CCIE R&S)–the expert level certification for network engineers. The new requirements were developed with assistance from Cisco enterprise customers and reflect the expectations of employers across industries.

The competencies required for CCIE R&S v4.0 certification were released on May 5, 2009, and are available on the Cisco Learning Network under the CCIE R&S v4.0 Written Exam topics and CCIE R&S v4.0 Lab Exam topics. Exams based on the new requirements are scheduled for release on October 18, 2009, and will immediately replace the currently available v3.0 exams. Candidates who plan to take their exams on October 18, 2009, or later should prepare using the new v4.0 exam topics.

Both the written and lab exams will be refreshed with new questions and will cover MPLS and VPN networking. The written exam will add scenario-based questions to the multiple choice questions, and the lab will now require hands-on troubleshooting of preconfigured networks, in addition to configuration. Exam duration and pricing will remain the same, with the two-hour written exam at USD$350 and the eight-hour lab at USD$1400.
----------------

Cả 2 kì thi Written và Lab đều thêm vào phần MPLS, Layer 3 VPN, IPv6, EIGRP and multicast and configuring performance-based routing.... Kì thì written thì sẽ thêm những siêu câu hỏi dạng scenario và câu hỏi nhiều sự lựa chọn. Thi Lab thì phải làm phần hands-on troubleshooting trước khi cấu hình :-SS. Giá tiền thi thì vẫn như cũ . Written là $350 còn Lab là $1400 :-"

A beta version of the new CCIE R&S v4.0 written exam (351-001) will be available to all customers in the July–August 2009 timeframe at a discounted price of USD$50. An announcement will be made when scheduling begins.
---------------
Thí sinh nào xung thì có thể thi Written 4.0 dạng beta trước trong tháng 7 và 8 /2009 và sẽ được giảm giá $50 <:-P

Cisco 360 Learning Program Updates Available

Cisco 360 Learning Program components aligned to the new CCIE R&S certification standards will be available on May 11, 2009. All current students will have access to the new materials throughout their subscription period. New materials include additional lessons on MPLS and troubleshooting, enhanced coverage of these topics in the instructor-led workshops, an updated Practice Lab Workbook for self-paced practice, and new Performance Assessments that gauge skill level and offer mentoring feedback.

CCIE Assessor, the first CCIE R&S practice lab, will be retired on June 5, 2009, and will be replaced by the 10 eight-hour assessment labs available through the Cisco 360 Learning Program. Find out more

Các câu hỏi FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1 - Q: What exactly is being changed on the CCIE R&S written exam?

A: The CCIE R&S v4.0 written exam will be refreshed with new questions to reflect the current job role expectations of employers. Scenario-based questions will be added to the multiple choice questions. New topics include the skills associated with planning and evaluating network changes, implementing MPLS, Layer 3 VPN, IPv6, EIGRP and multicast; and configuring performance-based routing. More information is available on the CCIE Written Exam Overview page.

2 - Q: What exactly is being changed on the CCIE R&S lab exam?
A: The CCIE R&S v4.0 lab exam will be refreshed with new questions to reflect the current job role expectations of employers. The equipment in the testing lab will be updated with Cisco 1800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers running Cisco IOS® Software Version 12.4(T) and Cisco Catalyst® 3560 Series Switches running Cisco IOS Version 12.2 Advanced IP Services. The biggest change will be the testing of hands-on troubleshooting for the first two hours of the eight-hour exam. Candidates will be presented with a series of trouble tickets for preconfigured networks, and they will need to diagnose and resolve the network fault or faults—a realistic and challenging job task. Candidates who finish the troubleshooting section early can move on to the configuration section, but they will not be allowed to go back to the troubleshooting section, since their equipment will need to be reinitialized for the configuration portion of the exam.
To make time for new material, CCIE R&S v4.0 exams will put less emphasis on equipment operation and concepts generally understood at the professional level. These skills are still assumed, but will not be the sole objective of CCIE test questions. Go to the Lab Exam Study/Learn section for more information.

3 - Q: Now that the CCIE R&S v4.0 has been announced, can I still take the CCIE R&S v3.0 exam? How long will it be valid?

A: The CCIE R&S v3.0 written exam will be available through October 17, 2009, at all Pearson VUE testing centers. Passing the v3.0 written exam qualifies a candidate to take any available version of the CCIE R&S lab exam. As with all CCIE written exams, a passing score on v3.0 written exam will remain valid for three years, as long as the candidate attempts the lab exam once within the first 18 months. If the lab is not attempted, the written exam becomes invalid and the candidate will have to retest using whatever written exam is available at that time.

4 - Q: If I take the CCIE R&S written beta test in July or August 2009, will I still be able to schedule the CCIE R&S v3.0 lab exam?

A: Scores on CCIE written beta tests are not available until 4 to 6 weeks after the close of the beta period. At this time, there is no guarantee the CCIE R&S v3.0 lab exam will still be available when a beta test candidate receives his or her score. Beta testers should plan on taking the CCIE R&S v4.0 lab test to achieve certification.

5 - Q: If I don’t pass the CCIE R&S v4.0 written beta exam, can I take it again in five days?

A: No, a candidate can only take a CCIE written beta test once during the beta testing period.

6 - Q: Will there be any changes to the recently-added Core Knowledge portion of the exam, the part with the short-answer questions?

A: The questions in the Core Knowledge section of the lab exam may cover any area on the CCIE R&S v4.0 Lab Exam topics.

7 - Q: What can a candidate expect in the troubleshooting portion of the lab exam?

A: Troubleshooting is allotted two of the eight hours required for the CCIE lab exam. Candidates will be presented with a series of trouble tickets for preconfigured networks and will need to diagnose and resolve the fault or faults. As with previous CCIE labs, the network will need to be up and running for the candidate to receive credit. Candidates who finish the troubleshooting section early can move on to the configuration section, but they will not be allowed to go back to the troubleshooting section.

8 - Q: Does a candidate have to pass both the troubleshooting and configuration sections in order to pass the entire CCIE R&S v4.0 lab exam and earn a CCIE?

A: Candidates will receive a single pass/fail grade on the entire exam, including both configuration and troubleshooting. Failing score reports will give an indication of where the candidate scored lower, to help the candidate prepare for another attempt.

9 - Q: Will the CCIE R&S mobile lab exam also be updated?

A: Yes, CCIE R&S mobile labs use the same lab version as Cisco office locations, and they will switch to the v4.0 lab exam on October 18, 2009 as well.

10 - Q: Which exam will be used for recertification?

A: As of October 18, 2009, CCIEs who take the CCIE R&S written exam for recertification will be given the v4.0 exam and should prepare using the exam topics found on the Cisco Learning Network.

11 - Q: Are the previous Cisco 360 components applicable to the CCIE R&S v4.0 exams? Should candidates studying for CCIE R&S v4.0 exams wait for the new Cisco 360 materials to begin work?

A: The learning components available at first launch of Cisco 360 are still relevant to candidates studying for the CCIE R&S v4.0 certification exams. No Cisco 360 Learning Program components are being retired. There is no need for candidates to wait for revised Cisco 360 material to begin their study and practice. The subscription model ensures that Cisco 360 customers can take advantage of all new content as it is released and do not need to wait.

Enjoy, :)

CCIE R&S v4.0 – Your questions answered by Mauricio Gorito (from the CCIE Team at Cisco)

Cisco is running a nice “Ask the Expert” with Maurilio Gorito (you can access it through this link) regarding the new CCIE R&S Exam v4.0. This section will end in June 05, 2009.
The Last day to take the CCIE R&S Lab Exam v3.0 is October 17, 2009. The new exam format – v4.0 starts on October 18, 2009.
Personaly I really like the troubleshooting idea! Ok, I´m not a big fan of the OEQ, but troubleshooting seens really nice!
Here are the answers from Maurilio Gorito that I consider to be the most important (at least to me) so far:
Exam Format:
————————————————————————–
1. Open Ended Questions: up to 30 minutes.
2. Troubleshooting: up to 2 hours.
3. Configuration: up to 5 1/2 hours.
————————————————————————–
The candidate will be graded only at the end of the day so even if the candidate fails in one of the sections he or she still going through all three sections.
There will be a big concern on integrity of the exams as all three sections are totally independent, per example the scenario or topology presented on the Troubleshooting section will be different from the configuration section.
————————————————————————–
The v3.0 lab exam has about 36 to 40 questions.
The configuration section on v4.0 will have something around 25 to 30 questions on 5.5 hours.
————————————————————————–
The Troubleshooting section will be independent from the Configuration section, i.e., it will be presented on a different scenario.
Once you finish the Troubleshooting you will move to the Configuration section that will be presented on a new scenario or topology.
————————————————————————–
The Troubleshooting section will have a maximum of 2 hours. The candidate will be presented a series of questions or ‘trouble tickets’ for a given scenario or topology. The referred topology will pre-configured.
Based on the information provided such as IP addressing diagrams, IGP routing diagrams, and so on you will work to identify and fix the issues. You will be given points for working scenarios.
————————————————————————–
1. The Open Ended Questions are 4 questions total and the candidate needs to get at least three out of four, and yes, usually 2 to 3 words are enough to answer them. During this section you can ask the proctor for clarification.
2. The total score of the CCIE lab exam still 100 points, now divided between the three sections. At this point I can’t disclose the exact point allocation per section but you can expect the Configuration section to have between 25-30 questions and the Troubleshooting section to have between 10 to 15 trouble-tickets.
3. Regarding of MPLS we are planning to cover the basic configurations on label switching, VRFs and L3VPN. No advanced scenarios will be part of the exam.
————————————————————————–

OEQ:
————————————————————————–
One good way to prepare for the Core Knowledge questions is along with your preparation to the lab exam where you will be applying the overall concepts during your hands-on practice studying.
During that section you will be asked concept questions about technologies that are listed on the lab exam blueprint so while you are preparing to take the lab exam you are implementing all those concepts and then you will be well prepared for that.
There is no memorization type of questions, like to memorize RFCs (as someone asked before) or specific protocol timers.
You may find questions the will have an output command and / or a topology for your interpretation, but not memorization questions such RFC numbers.
————————————————————————–
The questions are suppose to be clear and direct so you should not need clarification, but if the candidate feel the need to clarify something on the question because per example English is not his or her first language proctors will help to clarify that.
Proctors will not go into technical discussions or possible directions on answering the questions, but still available to clarify the meaning of the question’s wording.
————————————————————————–
We do not look on language specifics. Although the questions are written in English during grading we do not look for correct grammar or perfect phrases, rather we look for key words related to the technology involved in the questions. Proctors are very careful on it as well they are available during the exam for any clarification if needed. Here is a link where you can find a sample for the Open Ended questions: http://ciscocert.custhelp.com/app/an...ample/r_id/166
————————————————————————–
The Open-Ended Questions are graded by the proctor, no by a script.
————————————————————————–
The only available tool during the Core Knowledge section is the Notepad. No calculator is available.
————————————————————————–

Troubleshooting Section:
————————————————————————–
A good way to prepare to the troubleshooting is when you are practicing on hands-on preparing to the lab exam try to change your scenarios, try different approaches when configuring routing protocols, different configuration on QoS, and so on. During your ‘experiments’ observe what happens, the changes on behaviors, and then record your finds. These will help you to understand how the technologies work at the same time how they behave during transitions, and then you will know how to deal when something is broken. Consider the following approach when analyzing a problem.
When analyzing a problem you should consider the following facts:
- Make sure you have a clear definition of the problem.
- Gather all the relevant facts and consider the likely possibilities.
- Create and implement an action plan and then observe the results.
- If the symptoms do not stop try another action plan and gather additional facts. If you try one thing and it doesn’t work you should take that configuration or feature off. In case you make the situation worse, always keep the basic and get back to a known position.
- If the symptoms do stop, document how you fixed the problem.
————————————————————————–
The Troubleshooting section will have a certain number of trouble tickets and points allocated to the section. You will receive credits for the points you get. Your score on this section will show as, 30%, or 50%, or 80%, and so on.
You will need to get a minimum of 80% on each section of the exam to pass on the CCIE lab exam.
Yes, we are planning to post a sample Troubleshooting questions/trouble ticket for study reference.
————————————————————————–
CCIE Lab Exam:
————————————————————————–
The main changes on the new CCIE R&S v4.0 are:
1. The addition of MPLS/VPN, EIGRPv6 and the emphasis on troubleshooting.
2. The addition of a separated 2 hours troubleshooting section to the exam.
No topics were removed from the syllabus and those topics (aka blueprint) will be covered through 3 sections:
1. Open Ended Questions: up to 30 minutes.
2. Troubleshooting: up to 2 hours.
3. Configuration: up to 5 1/2 hours.
You can find more detailed information on the CCIE R&S v4.0 at
https://cisco.hosted.jivesoftware.com/docs/DOC-4605
————————————————————————–
Yes, the v3.0 lab exam has about 36 to 40 questions.
The configuration section on v4.0 will have something around 25 to 30 questions on 5.5 hours.
————————————————————————–
Performance Routing will not be a big topic, and may not appear in all exams.
IOS IPS it is also a topic that will not appear in all exams and it will not require to know the signatures but the basic configuration.
The same applies to the IOS Zone Based Firewall. This is new to the blueprint and it will be basic in the exam and may not appear in all exams.
No Radius server will be part of the CCIE R&S exam scenarios, and initially no SDM software will be installed on the ISR routers.
————————————————————————–
