Re: CCIE written, 2nd try
I would wish you luck, but if you know your stuff you don't need luck. Luck has nothing to do with it - That passing score is YOURS!! And it is waiting for you to go claim it! The best to you! -Eddie At 06:49 PM 1/10/01 -0800, Jim Healis wrote: Well, in just about 12 hours I take the CCIE written exam for the second time. The first time was just to get a handle on what I should expect (though I still held hope that I would pass). This time, however, I have made a strong effort to study. In the last four weeks I have read more material, page for page, than I did all through college. I still can't say that I know it all because sometimes I still draw a blank when someone asks me a question. But I can say that when I took that first Certification Zone practice exam I thought I was nuts for thinking I could do this, and when I took the most recent one I actually made a passing score. And now, on the eve of my exam, I think to myself if I am still crazy for continuing this path. I mean, thinking about all that I must study in addition to what I have already done makes me dizzy. But just for giggles I thought I would see how fast I could correctly configure a router, from scratch, with two Ethernet connections, two WAN connections, a routing protocol and NAT. Now I know this is a simple configuration but I was going for speed not complexity. I finished configuring the router in just under 9 minutes, and yes, it worked! I was shocked. I didn't think I was that practiced. So now I study a bit more, just to cover the basic items that I may have forgotten in my studies. I also plan on getting a good night's sleep (though I may be too nervous). And tomorrow morning I plan on passing the exam and greeting my future with open arms and a confident smirk on my face. :-) Best wishes to all!

Re: Disappointed with ccnp!!
Jeongwoo- With your high expectations of getting a job, I can understand your disappointment. Expecting a certification to get you a job is setting yourself up for disappointment because I think certification alone is not enough to land a job. Certification must not be your only qualification for a job - there are many other factors that are much more important. Specifically, what matters most is your ability to do the job. Your interviewer is constantly asking himself, "What can Jeongwoo do for us?" And YOU need to answer that question for him. Here is an exercise to help you figure things out: Change seats with the person who is interviewing you and ask yourself, what can Jeongwoo do to contribute to the success of this organization. Take as much time as you need to think this through. Write down every benefit you offer to an employer (even the little silly ones that come up). Read the list over many times. Develop each Jeongwoo-benefit into a one sentence phrase that you can inject into your next interview. You have to sell yourself to the employer - the certification won't do it! Also, what kind of job are you looking for? What is the job market? Your target employers may not hold value in certifications, so you need to offer them something they value. My experience says the type of company that holds the most value in certifications is a reseller - they NEED certs to keep their reseller status. Other companies place more value on your proven ability to do the job based on your past experience. Since that is limited to a lab, you really can't prove it to them. You need other positive points to having you as an employee. There are too many other factors that affect your chance in an interview to list here, but consider some obvious ones. Being a recent college graduate, how is your appearance (young and immature or professional)? How well do you communicate with others? How confident are you and does it show? Confidence in your knowledge of technology (and where/how to find the info you need) and ability to do the job (configure, troubleshoot, etc.) may be your biggest asset and that should show in an interview. Again, there are MANY factors... What qualities do you have that an employer MUST have?

I recently got ccnp certification and looking for the entry level of job for network engineer. I am living in San Francisco, and graduated from college less than a year ago. I have less than a year of network experience that I got from school computer lab. I had a harder time finding a job before I became ccnp. So I studied hard believing that ccnp would get me somewhere at least as a entry level network engineer. Now I am kind of confused and disappointed with the fact that I am still having a hard time finding a job even with ccnp certification. I feel like I need more cisco certifications such as ccda, ccdp. Would these certification ever help me find job? It is really discouraging that cisco certification doesn't help me much find a job at this point, because I am also pursuing ccie too. I have to ask myself what is the point of getting cisco certification. Lots of CCNAs are having a job. Why not ccnp? Could somebody tell me why it goes like this, and what I should do? Am I looking for wrong job? I will appreiciate your input. jeongwoo __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Flash Memory
If you want 16MB of flash, you have to erase the second flash partition and merge the two 8MB flash modules. First, set up your tftp server and make a back up copy (it's always nice to be able to go back if you need to). copy flash tftp (follow the prompts - enter the info requested) Commands to merge flash partitions: enable config terminal no partition flash (It will ask you if you want to erase the second partition. Confirm this.) sh ver (you'll see 16,384 --or close-- system flash) That's it - Your flash partitions will merge into one and you will have 16 MB flash. And Life Is Good! -Eddie At 10:14 PM 1/6/01 -0600, Mark Rose wrote: Thank you for a possible solution.

So many people taking the exam and the number of ccie's being so low. Is a good thing. If someone qualifies and feels they are ready let them go. You should schedule your lab at the next available time and go take it. If you fail then tell me how long would you want to wait. Myself I will schedule the next available time and take it again until I pass. Most great battles have been won by attrition, since Moses to CCIE. Duck I certainly agree with all the points Chuck made. One thing that Cisco could do is change the requirements to take the lab besides just passing the written exam. I am not saying by any account that the written is easy, but I know people that have passed it by pure luck and really don't know a darn thing. I know a person right now that has passed the written by getting the passing score on the dime, and he is taking the lab soon. I wish good luck to him, however he is walking in blindly with out EVER actually configured a router. He has no internetworking design or troubleshooting experience in the real world, however he is going to go and take the lab exam just to "see what it is like" I don't think Chuck's ideas are cruel and unusual. I think they really need to make this tougher then it already is. Who wants to put "CCIE #102,000" after their name? If they just open more racks it may get to that point. I believe the written exam should be scratched with a new format with a higher passing score. Truly the money issue sometimes makes little difference. If someone has 30,000 grand to spend on equipment, classes, books etc., a few more grand can't hurt. And if their company is paying then who cares right? I know a company that has spent countless dollars actually flying a guy to Canada, putting him up in a hotel...and paying for his labthey did this 5 times before he passed his lab. Those slots could have been used for someone that actually knew what they were doing and had a chance to pass. It would be nice if they had a 4 hour lab prequal after taking the written. Something that would not require a proctor to pass. You would be given many different scenarios at Sylvan and require to configure them with a virtual IOS. The configs would be sent to an evaluator at Cisco and then you would be contacted a week later concerning scheduling your real lab date. This could weed out some of the flunkies. If Cisco ruins the value of this exam, they are not going to have any future revenue from it.

Or you have to at least made it into day 2 to be able to retest within 30 days.

Re: What can CDP offer ?
Sure, Telnet will give you all the info (and more) you can get from CDP. But imagine having access or knowledge of only one router or switch. How would you know what is on "the other side" to telnet to, not to mention their IP address? CDP will tell you info of live devices you may not know existed on "the other side". If you know your whole network, CDP may have limited value to you. The bandwidth you gain by disabling it may not be worth the benefit CDP offers. My 2 cents worth. -Eddie - Original Message - From: CCIE TB [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 8:25 PM Subject: What can CDP offer ?
