phew! jncie-er for another 2 years
passed the jncis-er today. definitely not like my speedy and high scoring jncis-m performance. but it was a good enough, and i'll take it! 
good for another 2 years.
things worked out well for this. company was making me take the jncis-sec, but i just passed that a couple months ago and don't quite need to recert that yet
so i convinced them to let me take the jncis-er instead. found out the day before they were going to let me do that, so i spent a few hours over the night on next-hop and interface service sets, nat, stateful fw, ipsec vpns. i felt pretty good with what i covered and was feeling good going into the test. and worst case, free exam and nothing on the line. but man, i do not like that test at all, and was not feeling too good during the test. i used a good portion of the exam time and had tons marked for review and passed by 4 or 5 questions.
so i'm good for 2 years now, and didn't spend the week or two or three of studying like i would have tried squeezing in early june. i can now happily forget all about service sets again
only bad part, my jncie-m and jncie-er will now be expiring even closer to each other now. about a month apart. doh!

Congrats! You'd think that doing one JNCIE would renew all of you certs (the way cisco does it) but I guess not. Great job! What is up next for you? -

Congrats, nice work!
What happens if you don't take a JNCIS-xx exam to renew? Does the JNCIE-xx certification fully lapse, or is there a probationary/suspension period where you can take the JNCIS-xx exam before it fully expires?Lab first, ask questions later -

I believe if you don't renew a JNCIE by taking the required JNCIS within the 2 year period that it fully expires. Not entirely sure though."Bribe is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. The X makes it sound cool."

Congrats...
The cert is deactivated ... and I guess if you pass within next 6-12 months you should get it active again...
I really hate Juniper in this regard though... Cisco has this CCIE written that can re certify all certs... It's a tough one to read.. but hey not bad if you have to read just one topic...IS-IS Sleeps.
BGP peers are quiet.
Something must be wrong. -

thanks guys
ya, i'm not too sure exactly how they handle deactivated or expired. not too eager to find out
but this recert sucks. how can i keep E, M, ER, EX, SEC, FWV, JUNOS all active? plus whatever else they come up with? i already let the E (ERX) slide. and what renews the JNCIA-JUNOS? i don't think any of the JNCIS exams trigger a recert there since it's all off on it's own track. i hope i'm wrong there. whatever though, not like i'm too worried about losing JNCIA-JUNOS really sucks cuz all my certs are falling into alignment. q1/q2 2012 will be d-day. all my cisco and juniper are expiring :S (unless i get one or two of those pesky ccie labs out of the way that's what nextish if i can ever find the time.) -

Congratulations on the re-certification
I'm hoping that Juniper picks up the Cisco re-certification model some day....:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set!
