OR - who / what is over rated? I revisited a couple of CCIE Lab preparation books last night. I sat down with high hopes, after a frustrating afternoon at the rack. I was looking for some enlightenment.
The first book I hit was one of the so called "CCIE Professional Development" books. The chapter on PIM was a mere 28 pages, of which a good half were charts of various multicast headers. The chapter mentions RP, but never bothers to explain the concept of RP. CCIE level? More like the "idle curiousity" level. OK, so I go to one of the old standby's, one mentioned in every "recommended books" list, and get distracted by the chapter on redistribution. As I read through this chapter I am struck at how rudimentary it is. There appears to be no real insight here. Distribute-list in and out are glossed over. Issues with VLSM. to FLSM are covered in a a simplistic manner. So my question - for folks who have been to the CCIE Lab once or twice, who have put in the thousands of hours of reading and configuring, what do you think when you revisit the classics? Do you think maybe you've outgrown them? -- www.chuckslongroad.info Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=55882&t=55882 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
