I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here - and this thread should die
really soon, but for the benefit of those not privy to what offline
discussion has taken place on this topic, let me fill in some blanks.
To judge by the offline and online replies this thread has gotten, far ore
people on this list agree with the premise that an individual who's
'obtained respected industry certifications' certainly ought to be capable
of setting up the equipment in question.
The aforementioned individual though, prefers to huff and puff about how he
went out and bought the books and studied for the tests and didn't take any
classes and doesn't have any cisco experience and [did I mention he didn't
take any classes or that he doesn't have any cisco experience?] that he
passed the tests - thereby 'earning' the 'respected industry certifications'
of Cisco Certified Networking Associate and Cisco Certified Design
Associate. Did I mention that he didn't have any cisco experience?
HELLOOOO!!!
"Yes, good morning hiring manager - I'm the CCNA/CCDA you advertised for."
"um, well, no - not _really_ - no. But I'm a really fast learner! I passed
the certifications for Network Associate and Design Associate first time
around! In six weeks!"
"um...hubs? like on a car you mean? ohhhhh....you mean the level one single
broadcast domain device they talk about in the book....yes! a
hub....um...sure. yeah. I could do that."
Give me a break.

I hate to disagree with you on this Jim, but I don't think that Drew was
being sarcastic at all. He pointed out something extremely pertinent to
this persons post---the fact that he asked a question that was by all shakes
of the stick elementary and that his sginature reads(look at the post again)
CCNA/CCDA. I think that this identified an interesting phenomenon that
struck other vendor certifications and that I personally hate to see strike
Ciscos. There are no such things as stupid questions and I believe that
each one of us on this list is more than happy to help anyone with anything.
After all no one knows everything! However to post a question of this sort
and then include in your signature that you have obtained respected industry
certifications may be a tactical error. Cheers, and thats my 2cents!
