SYNOPSIS
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 recert 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.
