眼看著Routing & Switching CCIE Lab改版時間即將到來(10/18/2009)，許多Candidates大概已經拼死拼活在這個deadline之前book好位子，抱著最後一擊的信念來準備CCIE Lab。不過如果真的來不及的朋友，其實我個人建議是如果沒有時間壓力(考完第一次CCIE Written，一年半內要考第一次CCIE Lab)，可以放慢你的腳步，現在開始針對新加入的topic一個個來準備，其中最讓人注目的應該是MPLS的部份，其實MPLS的加入從以前就一直耳聞，因為隨著MPLS VPN愈來愈盛行，再加上MPLS(Layer 2.5)本身所擁有的極佳彈性，非常適合大型Enterprise利用MPLS自建Backbone，再利用MPLS VPN搭建公司關係企業/各部門之間的通道(透過RT/RD的設置，可以很有彈性調整各單位之間的互通性)。

如果各位有心針對R&S CCIE Lab 4.0的目標來準備，Cisco提供了一個網站利用Q&A的方式來回答所有新版CCIE Lab詳細的規定及內容，建議各位Candidates可以好好上網去了解一下：
