network. Although basic network connectivity is provided, you will be responsible for configuring

the pre-installed applications to satisfy the requirements of the lab, and to troubleshoot

important parameters of a voice network, such as quality of service, VLANs, gateways and

gatekeepers. Point values and testing criteria are provided. More detail is found on the Voice Lab

Exam Blueprint and list of Lab Equipment and IOS Versions.

Beginning May 10, 2010, CCIE Voice lab exams in all global locations will no longer include the

four, open-ended Core Knowledge questions. The total lab exam time will remain eight hours. CCIE

Voice candidates will have the full 8 hours to complete the integrated exam. Learn more.

knowledge of the more common protocols and technologies. As of March 2006, the documentation can

only be navigated using the index; the search function has been disabled. No outside reference

materials are permitted in the lab room. You must report any suspected equipment issues to the

proctor during the exam; adjustments cannot be made once the exam is over.

Each question on the lab has specific criterion. The labs are graded by proctors who ensure all

the criterion are met and points are awarded accordingly. The proctors use automatic tools to

gather information from the routers to perform some preliminary evaluations, but the final

determination of a correct or incorrect configuration is done by a trained proctor.

You can review your lab exam results online (login required), usually within 48 hours. Results are

Pass/Fail and failing score reports indicate major topic areas where additional study and

preparation may be useful.

You may request a reevaluation of results for Routing and Switching, Security and Service Provider

labs for up to 14 days following your exam date. Use the link next to your lab record called

"Request for Reread". Due to the equipment used, rereads are not available for the Voice and

Storage Networking exams. Each reread costs US$250.00 plus any applicable local taxes. Payment is

made online via credit card and your card will be charged upon receipt of the request. You may not

cancel the reread request once the process has been initiated and refunds are only given when the

results change from Fail to Pass.

A reread consists of a second proctor loading your configurations onto a rack to recreate the test

and rescore the entire exam. This process may take up to three weeks after receipt of payment.

Only one reread per lab attempt is permitted. The result of the reread is an updated score report

with success rates for each major section. Be aware that scores may decrease.
