Today Cisco announced version 3 of CCIE Blueprint. You can find it here:

CCIE Equipment and Software versions for this exam here:

From a first look, the PIX firewall and VPN Concentrators are out of the blueprint, and there is not many other changes:

In Identity Management part there is 2 new topics:

  1. Configure LDAP
  2. Configure certificate-based authentication

More or less the topic are the same as before.

I was in doubt if the PIX will be in the new version of the blueprint and I wasn't sure which exam should I choose: 642-523 or 642-524 as my next exam, but now is clear that I'll choose the ASA one. Also I'm very happy that VPN concentrators are out, as I don't have any experience with them at all.
