Hi, thanks for the interesting article? Is your site a free theme or custom? I am intrigued by your blog. Is it possible to include this article on one of my sites?, i will of course link to this page. regards

I think that the CCIE certification reflects the market and business needs of the industry, so as scott says GSRs and IOS XR are expected; but this is gonna make the lab harder because not many candidates will have access to such facilities.

We are talking about IOS XR this only runs on the CRS-1 and the GSR XR platforms right. The older GSR’s that are NOT XR’s will not run the XR code.

Also, IOS XR is totally different then the Modular IOS that is for the Sup720′s…right.

Personally, I am thrilled to hear that XR will finally make it into the lab. There is more and more of it in real world, since the GSR “port” of it is getting better (It was made for CRS, and retro-fitted to GSR). My only experience with it was in practice – no theory what so ever, and let me tell you that you have nothing to worry about… If you have a free GSR/CRS-1 lying around

IOS XR is very modular OS as compared to IOS, the shear power which you are expose to when you start comparing the throughput.

Years of research has gone behind defeating Juniper’s T series routers.

So now its even more to sweat for CCIE SP, since IOS XR is having totally new and different style of look and feel than original IOS. Moreover IOS XR tends to be more complex in terms of handling and administrating it. and its very hard to come cheap.

But thats not all bad news overall. OSPF shim was a new feature added in recent version of IOS XR, which means that Cisco is fast pacing up XR with IOS lineup, so you can still wait and watch for new features which are already there in IOS. That means lesser numbers of technologies we need to stress for exam prep…

IOS-XR gives us lots of potential for expansion in the lab. I wouldn’t count on a lot of it though!

This still tends to be enough to cause panic and mayhem about anything new (and expensive) coming into the lab!

It’s not so good news, if XR IOS will in SP lab.

We could not emulate whole lab in dynamips.
