IP ROUTING CERTIFICATIONS

If you have already received knowledge certification by one of the organizations identified in the following table, and your certification is still valid, you may receive credit towards prerequisite IP Routing exams in the Alcatel-Lucent Service Routing Certifi cation program. On validation, you will receive exemptions based on the certifications that you hold. For example, an indivi dual who holds a valid and active CCIE will be exempted from exams 4A0-100, 4A0-101 and 4A0-102.
