Service Provider - IP Telephony, and 350-025 CCIE Service Provider - Dial include both a specific written exam and common hands-on lab
exam as core requirements for the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification.
You take one of the above written exams and then a common Service Provider lab exam. These exams are high level exams for IT professionals who have
a very good understanding of IP and IP routing, Optical, DSL, Dial, Cable, Wan
Switching, and IP Telephony.
A CCNP, CCDP, CCIP or CCSP are logical, yet not
mandatory, prerequisites for this set of exams. Passing one of the written exams
is a prerequisite to taking the common lab exam.
Cisco does not
publish the pass score for the written exam: Pass marks are set by using
statistical analysis and are subject to change. This
exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions and lasts 2 hours.
The
lab exam is a one day eight hour practical exam. In terms of its scoring: Each
configuration scenario and problem has pre-assigned point values. The candidate
must obtain a minimum mark of 80% to pass.
The topics covered by each qualifying lab exam can
be found under the “Service Provider Blueprints” section here.
