After recently teaching the latest CCNP exam changes, I figured everyone could benefit in knowing any new hardware requirements. The CCNP program has changed quite a bit from the previous tests. I have taken both the old and new tests and can attest to the fact that the new CCNP changes are great. For the first part of this series, I will focus on the BCMSN (aka switching) changes. For the most part, the core competencies for this haven’t changed much at all.
Take a look at the exam objectives here

I heard news of Cisco making changes to the CCNA program a couple months ago, but they asked to keep it private until they made the announcement.
They basically added an entry-level certification. The CCNA content will be a little different too. You should see more wireless and security topics (all good stuff)…

Well, I took my last test yesterday for my CCIP certification. The last test I needed was the MPLS test. I probably spent two months studying MPLS stuff. You definitely want to be able to setup MPLS environments for this test. The test networks I setup were very helpful in preparing me for the test. I’m glad I spent so much time building MPLS VPNs because it’s a core competency on the exam.
My main concentration for the rest of the year is the R&S CCIE written and Lab exam. I just got my lab workbook and proctor guide I ordered from IPexpert. After flipping through the books, I think I’ve got my work cut-out for me. These books are going to be very challenging and I can’t wait to get started. Once I get the labs knocked-out, I plan on attending the instructor-led training course they offer.

It looks like Cisco is updating the written exam for the CCIE R&S track. I wouldn’t get too worried because it only looks like they are adding MPLS and IPv6 to the mix. The MPLS being added looks pretty basic to me according to the blueprint. The IPv6 is expected since it’s on the lab blueprint. Expect the new exam to be available June 19, 2007.
Here is the announcement

It looks like Cisco has updated their CCSP track with some new exams. If you are currently working on your CCSP, be sure to note the last day the exam will be available. Personally, I think exam updates are a great thing (I love the CCNP updates!). There are also some new electives available for this certification. New Security Specialist certifications have also been added.
