Mike,
you are correct about the recent trend on Network Engineering in general
and Cisco Engineer in particular. These recent CCIEs know nothing
else but Cisco (not that they are expert to begin with). Most don't even
know how to write simple shell script on Unix platforms. If this sound
like I am bashing Cisco Engineers, I am not but it is just the fact. It
just repeats over and over again.
On the other hand, I have to say that almost every Juniper Network
Certified Internet Expert (JNCIE) engineers that I've met so far not only
an expert with Cisco Technolog but these guys can also program (mostly
with PERL and shell) in addition to Juniper products (M-series routers).
These guys are just a different breed of animals, in a class by
themselves. I guess it must be because JUNOS are pretty Unix-oriented.
Just my .02c
