The CCIE R&S Program has now been replaced by the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Certification and Training. This is the latest certification track to join the brigade of Cisco’s routine up gradation. Cisco confirmed the revision of the current version (v5) to Enterprise and announced the new blueprint in the first week of December. In alignment with the current industry trends and job roles, the old version has been revamped with the addition of new study materials and changes have been incorporated in both training and the exams (written & Lab).
This is the highest level of Certification from Cisco. It authenticates one’s in depth understanding and expertise on Cisco products and solutions. Besides being one of the most prestigious and highly paid certification in IT Industry, it validates the skills required of expert-level network engineers to plan, operate and troubleshoot complex, converged network infrastructure. CCIE candidates are deployed for the most technically challenging network assignments.
CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure(v1.0)
Exam Topics –Practical Exam
Exam Description:The Cisco CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure (v1.0) Practica lExam is an 8-hour long, hands-on exam that requires an examinee to plan, design, deploy, operate, and optimize dual stack solutions (IPv4 and IPv6) for complex enterprise networks. Examinees are expected to program and automate the network within their exam, as per exam topics below. The topics given below are general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the exam. Your knowledge, skills and abilities on these topics will be tested throughout the entire network life-cycle, unless explicitly specified otherwise within this document.

The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert Security (CCIE Security) program recognizes security experts who have the knowledge and skills to architect, engineer, implement, troubleshoot, and support the full suite of Cisco security technologies and solutions using the latest industry best practices to secure systems and environments against modern security risks, threats, vulnerabilities, and requirements.
There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE certification. Prior professional certifications or training courses are not required. As a CCIE Security candidate, you must first pass the written qualification exam and then the corresponding hands-on lab exam. You are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the exam topics and strongly encouraged to have three to five years of job experience before attempting certification.
Mode of Training:
Regular Batches
Duration:
400 Hrs
Exam:
You must pass the two-hour, written qualification exam covering network security concepts and some equipment commands before you are eligible to schedule the lab exam.
The eight-hour lab exam tests your ability to get a secure network running in a timed test situation. You must make an initial attempt of the CCIE lab exam within 18-months of passing the CCIE written exam. Candidates who do not pass must reattempt the lab exam within 12 months of their last scored attempt in order for their written exam to remain valid. If you do not pass the lab exam within three years of passing the written exam, you must retake the written exam before being allowed to attempt the lab exam again.
