Hi,
Be aware however a PBX Tech probably had a fair knowledge of the real guts behind
routing, trunking, route filtering and transmission.
I by trade am a Telecommunications Technician, I have a Universtiy qualification
Associate Diploma in Applied Science (Computing), I have more electronic and computer
papers than you can poke a stick at plus 35 Years experience in push various forms of
data around different types of networks from Telegraph networks to Pinball Machines.
Lots of PBX Techs have similar types of background. They often have a good background
in the relevant areas. Believe me when I say to learn routing (Programming exchanges)
by physically running piano wire and jumper wire through a frame to connect switch
points together gives you a good idea of how the switching and routing works in a
solid state router.
Whilst I have only been working with true Internetworks for 15 years there is a better
than average chance I would fail the CCIE not because I don't understand the
technology but because there are pockets of it I never use on a day to day basis.
This is true of all of us therrefore we need to learn more than the average guy to
pass. My guess is that is where the "E" comes from in the CCIE.
