400-201 - CCIE SP Written v4.1
The 400-201 exam is part of the new CCIE SP Written v4.1 certification. This exam measures your ability and skills related to configure, diagnose, and troubleshoot a series of complex network scenarios for a given specification based on dual stack solutions (IPv4 and IPv6).
Knowledge of troubleshooting is an important skill and candidates are expected to diagnose and solve issues as part of the CCIE lab exam. The candidate will not configure all end-user system; however, the candidate is responsible for all devices residing in the network.
