Understanding CCIE Routing and Switching, Exam 350-001

Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert, CCIE certification is one of the most valued certifications in the world when it comes to IP routing and network engineering. The certification gives the candidate an added benefit of not only mastering the knowledge of the Cisco products but also to be looked upon as a network engineer with the capability to work in the most challenging of the technical problems and issues. And therefore, passing the CCIE Routing and Switching Exam is no piece of cake.

The exam comes in two parts: one written, and the other a computer-based ‘lab’ test. With the different levels of certification and the rigorous two-part test, the 350-001 makes sure to sift through the number of candidates to choose the most capable internetworking skills worker. Even though the test is tricky, there are no pre-requisites for getting enrolled for taking the CCIE Routing and Switching Exam. Nevertheless, the candidate is very much advised to have at least a basic knowhow of the Cisco products, and must preferably have three to four years of experience of working with the products, because at hand knowledge will not only make you a pro in the usage and befitting the technical demands of the internetworking field, but to also give you more insight in solving the more complex problems given in the 350-001 exam. The first step to getting a Cisco certification as an internetwork expert is to pass CCIE Routing and Switching Written Exam.

The exam is a two-hour test covering exam topics related to the use of the equipment to the basics of the internetworking concepts and demands. It is taken in a Cisco authorized testing centre administered by Pearson VUE and consists of 90-110 questions, ranging from slightly simpler to complex problems. The questions mainly come in the multiple choice format. The certification being offered since 1993 has seen a few changes in the exam format. From 2004 onwards the candidates will not be allowed to re-attempt the question, and would thus have to solve the questions in one attempt and in one go. Moreover, a candidate appearing for the CCIE Routing and Switching Lab Exam later than three years after taking the written exam would be required to re-take the written exam.

The 350-001 lab exam is an eight hour exam which assesses the candidate’s ability to configure the equipment and to solve particular technical problem within a given span of time. For the lab exam, the knowledge of configuration and trouble-shooting is a must as the six hour part of the lab exam deals with the candidate’s knowledge of configuration and the rest of the two hours test the troubleshooting knowhow and capability of the candidate.
