To be at the CCNP level you must have already shown some skills with LANs - Support and switching exams. This sounds like it may be a good thing. If you have experience for 2 years as you say, then it should be OK. Maybe they can let you in on what they are doing on the LAN - VLANs, etc. Ever played with CatOS before. Maybe the first thing you should do is convert the 6500 to IOS and then they are just like routers!!!
Remember that TAC is just a call away - sounds like this job is a good opportunity so go for it.

[7:69746] Hey guys, I just got an offer to become a 2nd senior network engineer for this company in Orange Country. Great News i know!! Dilemma: I am a CCNP but have no local Area Nework Experience. Going to be workin with Catalyst 6500 switches. Also i have about 2 yrs working with cisco equipment, however, dont feel i am ready for a senior title and duties. Also working with cisco routers. What do you guys think i should do? 1. Take the job and see how it works out? Maybe mess up their network and look real dumb and unknowledgable on some troubleshooting. risked getting fired? 2. Let the job go, and watch a great opp float away? 3. Keep the existing job i have working with cisco equipment and technology? p.s. This job is a senior position, so meaning senior pay. very positive aspect, and a great company going places. over 4000 employees. Your output is greatly appreciated. Really need some advice.
