CCIE R&S Written v4.0 Updates

• 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.
• 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.
