CCENT only required for new CCNA Security 210-260

openallnight

Hello all,
I've read in a couple of places, including on this forum, that CCNA R&S is required to sit the exam for the new 210-260. However, according to Cisco only the CCENT is required. See link below. Am I looking at this wrong?

CCNA Security - IT Certifications and Career Paths - Cisco Systems

I have the CCENT, not CCNA R&S, and have been studying for the 210-260 and wouldn't want to now backtrack and start studying for R&S.
Thanks.

Justin-

It does seem to say that CCENT acts as a prerequisite. That's very strange though, I always thought the person had to acquire the R&S before being eligible for the CCNA Sec. I guess for the new exam they might've changed it.
