Validate
your skills with CCIE Routing & Switching (CISCO Certified
Internetwork Expert)
Cisco’s
CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) is an advanced-level
certification for IT professionals who have the training,
experience and confidence to tackle the most challenging
problems in their field. The CCIE thus certifies an individual's
networking skills at the expert level.
Holding an advanced-level Cisco certification, such as a CCNP
(Cisco Certified Network Professional), CCDP (Cisco Certified
Design Professional), CCIP (Cisco Certified Internetwork
Professional), or CCSP (Cisco Certified Security Professional)
would be desirable before taking on the CCIE. However, the key
to success is extensive hands-on experience.

The CCIE
was established in the 1993 and is the top level in Cisco Career
Certifications. There are four tracks to the CCIE designations:
- CCIE
Service Provider
- CCIE
Routing and Switching
- CCIE
Security
- CCIE
Voice
Each of
these requires the candidate to pass both a written qualifying
exam and a hands-on lab exam demonstrating the candidate's
expertise in configuring, testing and troubleshooting real
equipment. In terms of recertification, “CCIEs are required to
pass one CCIE written exam within the 24 month period
immediately preceding their current recertification deadline.
Exams passed outside this 24 month period will not count towards
their recent requirement. If an exam is not passed within this
period, a CCIE is put into suspended status. Note that as of
June 15th 2003, the CCIE program discontinued the use of
specific recertification exams, and instead will allow a passing
grade on any of the currently available CCIE written exams to
satisfy the requirement for recertification.
Job roles of those pursuing this certification include: network
architect, network engineer, infrastructure engineer, and
infrastructure specialist. |
