CCIE

Welcome

This is the CCIE landing page! 🛬

This is where it all begins. Tips, concepts, knowledge everything related to CCIE studies is in this space. I've learned a lot with resources available on the web, and hope to return the favor by writing what I'm learning about the CCIE and to hopefully push myself into finishing out a CCIE exam. To left on the sidebar is the exam blueprint which will have additional information within each section.

Feel free to look at the topics, since this is a "living" document not all content is posted just yet as its just me running the show over here. I'll have updates posted on the blog section when content is available.

History

  • The CCIE program launched in 1993, on September 27th by John Chambers, who was then a Vice President at Cisco and later become CEO in 1995-2015.
  • The original name of the program was called "Cisco Top Gun" which is inspired by the famous movie but some legal concerns led to a name change. Which kind of tells you they type of thinking we had in 1993! 😄 Would you be proud that your a "Cisco Top Gun"?
  • CCIE was actually the first certification released by Cisco, the CCNA certification was released five years later in 1998.
