Yikes, Chuck! I'm usually the grumpy one around here! ;-) Cheer up, my
man!
But, I know how you feel. Sometimes it seems that all too many people want
the certifications without having to work at it. (By the way, I completely
missed the MPLS thread [since I don't know a thing about it] and I'm not
saying the original poster was being lazy.)
In fact, it sometimes does help me to understand a concept if I see a
working config all at once. On the other hand, my chances of remembering
something are infinitely better if I figure it out myself.
For instance, I was reading some Caslow last night and then worked on some
bridging configs with two 2501s and my PC to generate traffic. I was
working on transparent bridging but I was running into some problems. As it
turns out, to completely test my config using my current setup, I ended up
configuring IRB on the remote router (from my PC's perspective.) I will
now, always and forever, remember how I solved this particular issue because
I figured it out myself.
Okay, I'm now through with my Chuck-inspired partial rant. :-)
We now return to our regular programming.

| Oh give it up, Howard. Nobody cares. All they want is The Answer.
|
| I've been kicking around the CCIE list for several months now. People who
| want to be CCIE's but don't read the RFC's. Or Comer. Or Stevens. Or
| Berkowitz. Or Oppenheimer. Or anything else. Doyle, Halabi, and Caslow -
| that's what gets you to the CCIE level! And why should they do otherwise?
I
| don't recall seeing anything on my lab that made me wish I'd spend more
time
| studying RFC's. Or TCP/IP theory. In fact just about everything I saw on
my
| lab made me wish I'd spent less time with the RFC's and more time doing
| other things.
|
| How does routing work? How does redistribution work? How does OSPF work?
Who
| cares? Just give me the configs that will help me pass. If I memorize
enough
| variations, I'm ready for anything the lab throws my way.
|
| OK. Out of my system. Back to memorizing configs ;->
