Normally I reserve my hearty congratulations for private e-mails. However, this is one where I want to make an exception. Over the past couple of years Nigel Taylor has been a good participant on this list and the CCIE Lab list. Furthermore, he has been an excellent partner in several over-the-net labs. I have spent long hours on the phone, trading configs, trading information on what was seen and done in various setups. Nigel has excellent study habits, excellent powers of observation, and has really dug into this stuff. I have sure learned a lot during the course of our e-mails and our phone conversations, not to mention our virtual networks, linked by gre tunnels and ebgp-multihop. I hope Nigel will post a little bit of something he said to me last time we spoke. About analyzing things based on the result, and having several alternatives to attain that result, be they route tagging, route-maps, policy routing, or other means.
This one was well earned, and well done. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now go have some fun!

I just got back from RTP today where after checking my email, I was awarded CCIE#8387. What a journey/process this has been and I must say that I'm relieved that it's now over. After countless hours of study and practicing on the "rack" the reward was most definitely worth the sacrifice. I didn't sleep a any last night as I awaited the results of my lab score which I was unable to check until 12 noon today. So on that note I'm off to catch up on the sleep that escaped me last night. More to follow once I get rested up.. Nigel Taylor CCIE#8387 and all that other stuff.. :-> Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=26337&t=26309 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
