I can relate to that Brian. Talk about being blindsided. Since this was the
first I had heard of VPNs being on the exam, I cruised over to cisco's ccie
site and looked at the blueprint again to make sure I hadn't missed
anything. Hey, guess what? Not one word on vpn on the R&S exam, (although
it was on ISP dial.) This strikes me as a cheap shot. Sure you can make the
statement "Anything can be on the exam" but 8 points for something you
didn't even know to look at? whew! SO, ATM, BGP, DLSW, OSPF, and Voice
aren't hard enough they have to surprise you with random technologies?
So am I missing something here? (other than a normal life or sanity?).
