My interpretation of what he meant by that is you have to understand everything that encompasses a campus network. you have to first understand what the data is that the user what's, where it is and how it is that he going to get that information.
I.E. There is data on the mainframe that some user needs, it gets pushed to an Oracle/Sun server every night. The user has a PC that logs into a NT domain via his PC and accesses the service, and then the user needs to update the information to the mainframe. When the user has a problem, where do you start to look? Oh and by the way it is a Cisco network, so do you bring in a CCIE to solve the problem? Maybe... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cisco Nuts" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 3:03 PM Subject: Re: Logic and Lab Rats [7:44714] > Could you elaborate on the "backbone engineering is at a level far more > specialized and complex than the CCIE level, and there haven't been > formalized ways to learn it." > > I would love to know more about what you actuall mean? > > Thank you. > > Regards. > > > >From: "Howard C.
