Hi Scott and Dana
'am being quite late to get into this dialogue.
Well I have failed in my first R&S attempt.Thrown out in the second day in
the month of march.Have'nt worked out the next attempt.
Well , I am looking for some IGX conf related stuff because I am about to
land into an new IGX base thru my employer. After a painful search thru
entire Cisco site 'am not at all comfortable with the available info.Could
u suggest some good source? How do I plan my PVCs for data&voice? Does WAN
manager help me to do the planning and then config ?
After some time in IGX base Can I try CCNA WAN ?
