The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification may be the most challenging and prestigious of all networking certifications. It has received numerous awards, and certainly has built a reputation as one of the most difficult certifications to earn in all of the computing world. Having a CCIE certification opens doors professionally, typically results in higher pay, and looks great on a résumé.

Cisco currently offers several CCIE certifications, with several others that are no longer offered. The following list details the currently available CCIE certifications as of the time of publication of this book; check http://www.cisco.com/go/ccie for the latest information. The certifications are listed in the order in which they were made available to the public:
- CCIE Routing and Switching
- CCIE Security
- CCIE Service Provider (formerly known as Communications and Services)
- CCIE Voice
- CCIE Storage Networking

Each of the CCIE certifications requires the candidate to pass both a written exam and a one-day hands-on lab exam. The written exam is intended to test your knowledge of theory, protocols, and configurations that follow good design practices. The lab exam proves that you can configure and troubleshoot actual lab gear.
