Is this possible

Will CISCO allow some one to start CCNP security with 642- exam path and complete the path with 300- exams after 21st April? I would like to know if I can start with 642-637 and complete my certification with 300-207 for example.

Yes, it will.

Thank you, I had expected that some one has to take one way or an other, not to mix the two.

Cisco always allow you to mix old and new exams. It will be fine.

Still trying to figure out why Cisco is spelled in all caps as often as it is.

Because they are a big, badass company

a little off topic:
I hope you are going strong on SECURE. I feel like I've really uped the tempo recently and things are going great.

Thanks Master, likewise. I've been chipping away at it little by little and have an organized notes page with about 30 or so pages with commands and concepts. Ive been a little side tracked because I've been doing some security interviews and need to say that I'm really glad I've been doing these certs instead of just relying on a college degree. The questions that come up in the technical interviews are almost always right out of the certificate curriculum or are based on the knowledge one way or another, including experience. I'd like to hammer out SECURE before the end of April.

I recall seeing that there was a time limit on how long you can use the old exams towards earning the CCNP Security, I want to say it was December 15. But I don't see that listed on the site anymore. Am I thinking of something else?

It's all on the migration path for CCNP Security, yes there is a time limit for all of them.

So you are transitioning into security? That's great! I think the CCNP Security is bound to have a positive effect here(like you already experienced).

P.S: I think I finally managed to wrap my head around DMVPN and get a firm grasp of it.

Thanks Vask3n, I'm sure it was on the main CCNP Security page before.

You got it, I find that diagram really puts the whole process in perspective.
