IMPORTANT NOTE:
- The JNCIA-M and JNCIS-M credentials do not prepare you for the JNCIP-SP or JNCIE-SP credentials and you cannot recertify on the JNCIS-M to obtain your JNCIE-SP.
- Conversely, the JNCIA-Junos and the JNCIS-SP credentials do not prepare you for your JNCIP-M or JNCIE-M and you cannot recertify on the JNCIS-SP to renew your JNCIP-M or JNCIE-M.
Additional Information: The JN0-304 (JNCIS-M) was retired on December 31, 2010. Therefore, for those who hold JNCIP-M or JNCIE-M credentials there is a period of time in which there is no exam to recertify on. For those individuals who were due to recertify their JNCIP-M or JNCIE-M from October 2010 through July 31, 2011, we have extended your recertification period to August 31, 2011 to allow you enough time to prepare for and pass the written JNCIP-SP that became available on April 22, 2011. Details on this new exam have been emailed directly to those impacted, and also announced on the Juniper Networks Certification Program website.
