CCIE Practical exam environment
-
How is the practical exam? Is it just a virtual lab like CML that you configure there? Or do you have to cable physical devices?

Hello Maaz!
All CCIE Practical Lab exams are now virtual - there is no longer any physical cabling that is required of the candidates. Cisco is using an enterprise version of CML in order to emulate the required equipment.
If there is any PHYSICAL equipment left (perhaps the Data Center or Collaboration tracks have some left), the candidate is not permitted to physically access it.

Thank you Anthony, love all that you've done over the years!

Hi Anthony:
In this CCIE Practical Exam, Cisco is using an Enterprise CML software to emulate a physical environment? So there's no more actual physical equipment lab setup? So will there be a situation where a CCIE Engineer need to troubleshoot a real or live equipment om site or on-prem? or are those days gone, everything is cloud base or virtual environment.
