I've got some question for those of you who have taken the CCIE
Routing and Switching lab test RECENTLY (since version 3 came out).
These are in no particular order:

Is ISDN knowlege tested? If so, what/how is ISDN emulated in the
lab? Any in particular to what out for?

Is there any dial-up or dial-on-demand routing to work with at all?

Do Cisco IP phones have to be configured on routers?

Is there any IS-IS?

Related to MPLS, do you have to work with the provider side of MPLS,
or just the customer side?

Any DLSW?

Any DMVPN? How about tunneling in general?

Are you allowed to configure anything on the routers/switches using
the approriate web interfaces, or is everything command-line only?

How heavy is the IPv6 component?

Do you have to configure a router as a frame-relay switch, or is a
switch already in place? If there's a FR switch in place (and
assuming it isn't just a Cisco router), is it already configured?

Any ATM? Are ATM interfaces just crossed-over, or is there an ATM
switch in place? Any LS1010 configuration to perform?

Are cables and cross-over cables already made, or do you have to make
any cables?

Are serial ports WIC-1/WIC-2 with intergrated CSU/DSU, or do you have
to work with external CSU/DSUs?

I know that's a lot of widely unrelated questions. I'm quite
comfortable with the major parts I'm sure I'll see on the test (OSPF,
BGP, EIGRP, frame), but don't want to get tripped up on some of the
less widely used technologies. Thanks for any input.

I've already looked. Cisco's web site information is fairly general,
and I'm looking for specifics.

You might want to consider -

"new v4.0 standards on the Cisco Learning Network. Exams
based on the new requirements are scheduled for release
on October 18, 2009 and will immediately replace the
current exams."

But you knew that already.

Yep, that's why I'm trying to take the test before then.
