Online course: new upgraded CCIE

Cisco officially announced the official announcement of CCIE certification change in 2020, which caused a great sensation. So, what changes have taken place?

CCIE’ s routing and switching v5.0 and CCIE Wireless v3.1 authentication are officially retired.www

Instead, Cisco launched new CCIE certification: CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certification and CCIE enterprise wireless certification.

The followings are questions and answers about CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certification.

1. When will the new test version CCIE EI go online? What is CCIE EI?

On February 24th, 2020

The full name of CCIE EI is CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure, Cisco network expert enterprise infrastructure certification.

2. What consists of the new test version CCIE EI exam content?

On the basis of the original RS, new technology points such as Software Design(SDN), SD-WAN, automatic operation and maintenance and python programming are added.

3. Can we sign up to take CCIE before the new version goes online?

It will take 8-9 months from today to the launch of the new version. According to past practice , it takes an average of 7 months (2-3 hours a day) for newbie to learn from CCNA to get the CCIE certificate. If you sign up now, time is enough.

4. Will the test questions of Cisco CCIE RS version exam change at present?

Up to now, there have been five versions of LAB1, LAB1+, LAB2, LAB2+, LAB3 and TS1, TS1+, TS2, TS2+, TS2++. According to our internal information in Cisco, TS3 will come out, but only about 20% probability is available. Moreover, there may be new TS in 1 to 2 months before the new version is launched, the chance of which to affect your pass rate is extremely remote. Students can be relieved to take the CCIE certification.

5. I am worried about the change of Cisco's current version test questions, such as LAB3+.

According to Cisco's past situation, new test questions may be issued in 1 to 2 months before the new version is launched, but the version is basically stable.

6. I'm worried about changing the exam questions, and I want to prepare the new version after the new version comes out.

First of all, the content of the new version is larger than it is now. According to Cisco's past practice, the examination will only be more and more difficult, so as to maintain the authority of CCIE certificate. Secondly, the new version will go online on February 24th, 2020. Generally speaking, it is difficult to pass the exam within half a year to a year after it goes online. Candidates for new version need time to wait for the question dumps to be stable and the pass rate to be steady before they go to the exam.

7. What’s the difference between the new version of CCNP and the present one?

You no longer need to test CCNA first before taking all CCNP tests. You can take the CCNP directly. However, CCNP has only written test, so it has low recognition.

8. Now that I have passed the CCIE written test, if I wait until the new version goes online next year, is the written test still valid?

If the written test is within a limited period (18 months), after the new version goes online, you can take CCIE EI (Enterprise Infrastructure), which is now CCIE RS.

9. What is the difference between the new version of examination process launched in 2020 and the existed one?

In addition to the great changes in the examination content, the examination procedure is not the same as it is now. The new version of CCIE is divided into one compulsory test and several optional tests. As long as you pass a required exam and an optional exam (according to your hobbies or strengths to choose), you will pass CCIE.

10. What is the impact of CCIE LAB being prepared?

At present, there is no impact. However, it's better to finish the exam before December, so as to avoid the low pass rate phase (1 to 2 months) before the launch of the new version of Cisco.

11. Is the CCIE number of the new version related to the current version?

The CCIE number of students who pass the new version of the examination will be postponed on the basis of the current CCIE number.

12. Since the capacity of the new version of the examination is so large, it must have more to learn. Does it mean that the students who passed the new version are more powerful than those who passed CCIE before?

No, it doesn’t. The longer you have the CCIE, the better, and the smaller the CCIE number, the better. The earlier you pass CCIE, the richer your work experience and qualifications will be. This is also the reason why the longer you work in the Internet industry, the better your salary will be.

13. After the new version of CCIE EI comes out, if I study very well, can I go to the exam directly and answer the exam questions?

Impossible

14. What is the new CCIE EI LAB examination process like?

It is divided into two modules.

Module 1: Design, fixed for 3 hours,is similar to the current CCIE written test or CCIE LAB diagnosis, and there is no need to configure.

Module 2: Deploy, Operate and Optimize, fixed for 5 hours, is similar to the current configuration in CCIE LAB.

15. What is the price of the new CCIE EI exam?

At present, Cisco has not announced the examination prices of various subjects. According to the past, it is predicted that the prices will not change and are relatively stable.

16. Will the training fee of CCIE change too much now after the launch of new version of CCIE?

After the new version goes online, the training fee must be increased. After all, the amount of training has become much larger, and all institutions will consider the company's operating costs.

17. The current CCIE test can be simulated with a simulator. Can the new version of the test be simulated with a simulator?

At present, Cisco is vigorously promoting software defined network SDN. It is predicted that there will be corresponding IOS and simulators for experiments. It is impossible to rely on hardware devices to popularize, otherwise it will be contrary to Cisco's promotion of SDN.

18. What is the impact on those who have passed CCIE?

The new CCIE EI enterprise infrastructure v1.0 certification will be automatically obtained. However, the new crystal brand should not be provided for free. After all, there are more than 60,000 CCIE holders at present.

19. About CCIE re certification.

At present, two years after you pass the CCIE, it needs to be re certified. As long as you pass any written examination, you will get the certification. After the new version goes online, the re certification time is changed to three years.

20. Which is easier to take between the new version of CCIE and the current version? Which has higher recognition?

CCIE must be more and more difficult to take at the beginning of the launch of new version. After all, the amount of knowledge is getting larger. But the higher the social recognition definitely, the earlier the pass of examination; the smaller the CCIE number, the better.
