Hi All Working for a new company here in Sydney that believe Windows is the Be All End All of the computing world. However, we do run a Wide Area Network that connects 2 sites, have 2 cisco 2900 XL switch's and a foundry ServerIron firewall. All this connects clients that wish to access our apps to our www servers (all www servers and apps are Microsoft Apps)... My job, is to make sure everything is running and to enhance the performance of the entire WAN/LAN. Can any one suggest reasons that I can tell my boss why I should still pursue my CCNP studies instead of forgetting my cisco stuff and going completely doze ?????????? Thanks all Johnnyb Sydney Australia Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=6367&t=6367 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
