the new ROUTE SWITCH and CCDP?

itdaddy

hey guys
if I have the older switch and route the 642-813 and 642-902 instead of the newer ones, that are coming in Jan 2015
can I still use them for CCNP? or do I have to take the new SWITCH ROUTE?

If you have written the old ROUTE and SWITCH exams and write the new TSHOOT it will count towards CCNP. Cisco generally allow mix and match exams.

called cisco they said if I take the current switch, route they will apply to the old CCDP no problem..so we are good.
just answered my own question but wanted yu all to know tooo yeah! cause I am taking CCDA an CCNP arch right after in 6 months or less
and then if crazy CCIE.

You can mix and match, but be aware that the new TSHOOT (300-135) will cover material from both the new ROUTE (300-101) and SWITCH (300-115).

true that that is why I am pushing hard to get TSHOOT and ROUTE before Jan 25th 2015 thank you.

Thats cool... means, i can now write exam 642-813 (Switch)... & then later on i can go with the exam 300-xxx (for ROUTE & TSHOOT).
