CCIE无线笔试考试从10月7日起可注册参加考试，并且考试费用为50美元。以下为详细英文原文：
Requirements for Certification
There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE certification. Other professional certifications or training courses are not required. Instead, candidates must first pass a written qualification exam and then the corresponding hands-on lab exam. You are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the topics in the exam blueprints and strongly encouraged to have three to five years of job experience before attempting certification. You can review the exam preparation materials included on this page for more information.
The CCIE Wireless written beta exam will be open for registration October 7, 2008

Beta Exams
Each written exam version is offered first in beta form at a discounted cost of US$50. Beta exams are scheduled as you would other written exams and are available at all worldwide testing locations. A passing grade on the beta qualifies a candidate to schedule the lab exam. Results, however, are typically not available until six to eight weeks after the close of the beta. A candidate may attempt the beta exam only once during the beta period.

Determine key performance indicators (KPIs) and baseline WLAN operational characteristics Collect baseline WLAN operational characteristics using network analysis tools Establish fault management policy and procedures for indicators that should be routinely monitored, including alert profiles, noise, channel utilization, interference, load, etc. Monitor for faults
Actively monitor changes based on thresholds (proactive); SNMP polling Receive alarms and wait until notification (reactive); SNMP traps, syslog messages, Cisco WCS notifications Monitor performance trends, including capacity planning; error rates, number of clients associated with an AP, AP loading, thresholds (1 percent packet loss for voice), reference 802.11 t, end-to-end traffic flows, etc. Monitor WLAN security policies:
Traffic restrictions:
Layer 2 filters (802.11 association filters) Layer3 and 4 filters (ACLs): Per user, per interface, per SSID Management access Peer-to-peer blocking Layer 2 and 3 security WPS Monitor RF environments using Cisco Spectrum Expert, AP infrastructures Correlate events, alarms, and alerts Troubleshoot
