First-to-Market Training for CCIE Security-Focused Cisco Network Engineers
Last update: 7:55 a.m. EDT March 9, 2009

CHINA, Mich., March 9, 2009 / PRNewswire — Less than 20,000 individuals worldwide currently hold the CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert) certification. This industry-recognized designation offered by Cisco Systems, Inc. distinguishes successful engineers among the elite computer networking experts globally. Within this distinguished group, only 10% have earned the specialization that focuses on network security: the CCIE Security certification. Such individuals are charged with protecting the computer networks used by the world’s largest corporations and government entities.

To become CCIE-certified, engineers spend years preparing for an exhaustive 8-hour-long hands-on “lab” exam conducted by Cisco (http://www.cisco.com), the global leader in computer networking solutions. IPexpert (http://www.ipexpert.com) is a training organization, focused on preparing seasoned computer network engineers for the coveted CCIE exams, through various learning solutions including self-study materials and instructor-led training courses.

As network technologies continue to make advancements, Cisco changes the CCIE exam topics to ensure that the individuals being certified as experts are adept with the current solutions. Changes to the various CCIE exams tend to change every two to three years, with the most recent affecting the Security specialization.

IPexpert is pleased to grow on its record as the global market leader in CCIE training with its first-to-market offering of courses preparing CCIE Security candidates for the newly-revised (Version 3.0) lab exam. Its team of industry-recognized instructors worked diligently for the past six months to prepare for and author the training products and courses now available to aspiring network engineers.

In the sake of brevity and transparency, lets just get to the point. For all of you patiently awaiting the 5PM launch today for the new Voice and Security 3.0 Blueprint ProctorLabs racks as well as the Workbook/Proctor Guide material, we have some semi-bad news, but news that turns out to be good.

Basically we tried (as we normally do) to over-deliver, and we decided to build some newer/bigger/better features into the ProctorLabs Voice and Security vRacks than we originally had intended to have done by today at 5, thinking that we in fact could finish it all and have it thoroughly tested. Well, in finishing off some of the new features, we ran into a few snags (here is where your shock and awe comes in “What?? A few small issues when implementing TECHNOLOGY???” ;-)).

So in short – we will be pushing back the release date of this material to Monday. This will give us ample time to finish implementing all the new shiny nerd-knobs that we know you as engineers (and us as well) love to turn. And more importantly, have them fully tested.

So sorry about the slight delay, but we can promise you, your patience will be rewarded.

Recently, Cisco Systems announced that the CCIE Voice and CCIE Security labs will be changing.  IPexpert is pleased to be the first CCIE training vendor to release self-study preparation products for these new lab exams (Voice and Security Blueprint Version 3).

*For existing customers, our new workbook updates will automatically be added into your IPexpert Members Area (login from ipexpert.com).  We understand that this new content is needed ASAP, therefore these lab scenarios will be released lab-by-lab (as they are available) – with speed / delivery being the main motivator here!

By Close of Business (5:00 PM EST) on Wednesday January 28th, 2009, existing workbook clients will have the following lab scenarios available within their IPexpert Members Area.

In addition to being the first vendor to have self-study lab scenarios available, we’re pleased to announce that no later than Wednesday 28th, 2009 at 5:00 PM EST – Proctor Labs will begin supporting BOTH blueprints for CCIE Voice and CCIE Security lab exams (Blueprints 2.0 AND 3.0).  The features and topology that will be available for clients studying for the 3.0 blueprint will be as follows:

CCIE Voice Clients:

• Students will no longer be tested on the Cat 6500, Cat 3550, VG248, ATA, FXO or FXS
• The Cat 6500 has been replaced with a Cat 3750 for the HQ site (every pod has their own 3750)
• The Cat 3550 has been replaced with a 4-port Ethernet Switch Module in the BR2 router
• IOS on all routers is 12.4.20T
• Students will be given the ability to enter their own PSTN Phone MAC Address (whether software IPBlue or hardware 7960 phone)
• PSTN Dial-Plan will change dynamically for various labs
• Students will be given the ability to pre-load IOS and CUCM configurations based on the lab they are about to configure or troubleshoot, prior to beginning any lab scenarios.

CCIE Security Clients:

• Students will not be tested on the PIX firewall or VPN 3005 concentrator.
• The IDS is replaced with an IPS version 6.1.1.
• ASA version 8.0.4
• IOS on all routers is 12.4.22T
• IOS on all switches is 12.2.46.SE
• Students will be given the ability to pre-load configurations prior to beginning the troubleshooting lab scenarios.

Lastly, we understand that it’s important to have ample time to get yourself up-to-speed for the new lab exam.  We have announced that our class (ILT) objectives will be changing in March (March for Security, April for Voice) to cover the new blueprints.  Please be sure to contact a training advisor if you’re interested in reserving a seat in these new classes as they’re filling up extremely quickly due to the fact that these new blueprints cover a TON of new technology / topics (and the fact that we’re the only proven training company on the planet that’s offering courses covering these newly updated blueprint topics).  To reach an IPexpert training advisor, please call +1.810.326.1444, email sales@ipexpert.com or chat with a training advisor by clicking HERE.
