I agree with Brad 100%, after doing my CCNP I started working on the CCDP track and I had learned the design way of implementing a particular solution for a particular problem and not a solution for a different problem....it is like the more you learn the more you come to the conclusion that there is so much to learn in this field, and then you ask yourself how much do I really know....
My two cents...

I know quite a few CCIE's that do design work. It's too early for you to go one direction (in my opinion at least). High level engineers should be able to design complex networks and take into account what is happening in their network. The best way I see fit, is to understand the 20,000 foot view as well as the 100 foot view. Maybe Priscilla can join into the thread and share her views. thanks, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 (R&S / Security) Network Learning Inc ""Packet Loss"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Morning All, > > Stumbled upon this NG.... and feel like I have found a "gold mine".
