I agree with Sean that a CCIE should be able to perform basic UNIX tasks and
be familiar
with UNIX as such but this here can quickly become a grey area . Because
UNIX and
networking are both vast fields in themselves ,expecting one person to be a
master of
both is not right . I work as a Syste
Last time I checked, there was none of the following on the CCIE written
or lab:
Unix
Tacacs Server Configuration
X-application tunneling over SSL
Would you also expect a CCIE to be able to configure CICS on your
mainframe and troubleshoot terminal controller problems in VTAM on your
FEP?
No,
You're attributing a fault in "these guys" to a certification which doesn't
test on UNIX skills. In other words, they're CCIEs - they know more than
you or I do about routing and switching on Cisco routers (presumably). But
the CCIE is the *beginning* of an overall understanding of how networks
Sean
Not everyone can know everything about all Networking and OS's. You
obviously know how your network runs, but is it documented?, and if so, is
the documentation in a coherent library format? Sounds to me like this
important information may not have passed on during your network tur
While I agree that a lot of engineers could use more Unix skills (myself
included), the CCIE in routing and switching does not test skills for
running Unix TACACs servers. The CCIE in ISP-DIAL, however, is a different
matter entirely since the ISP-Dial CCIE tests the ability to configure Cisco

Hmm, maybe the fault lies in companies that only hire people who have a
specific set of certifications to manage their networks. I, and for that
matter several other non-CCIEs I know, could easily have handled your

basic troubleshooting stuffs. To my knowledge, Linux and Solaris x86 are
free so those basic Unix skills can be learned very quickly.

sic skills set of Unix. It seems CCIEs know how to use
Microsoft Windows? Why not Unix? Didn't these guys ever attend
college? As far as I am concerns that's where most people learn their
Unix skills

"X-application tunneling over SSL". This is a very interesting concept.
I didn't know that this is possible.

I have a few comments. It sounds like Sean is looking for a confidence
boost by this group. Wow, Sean, you must be really smart! I mean to have
these Unix skills _and_ know something about Cisco routers. Oh my goodness!
Maybe I could introduce you to my sister!

I think the CCIE demonstrates an ability to learn at a certain level, and
guarantees a certain level of knowledge on subjects tested by the written
and lab exams.
In my experience CCIE's tend to specialise in one (or a few) specific
area(s) after that. I think there's a danger of being Jack of al

You're attributing a fault in "these guys" to a
Bugger off Sean! You've got quite a bit of nerve to presume that all CCIEs
are created equal and share the same backgrounds. Some CCIEs are quite
proficient in Unix and other disciplines while others prefer to stay more
focused on Cisco centric solutions (nothing wrong with either option). Lets
hey running around with that
