Interesting... I don't remember having HEX on either my CCNA v1, CCNA v2
tests or on the track to the CCNP - strange.

If you don't have some helpful input then keep your little thoughts tucked
away in your little mind and let the list educate people.

I was simply stating that EVERYONE on this list does NOT know how to
convert to HEX (not me persay.) So, FOR THE BENEFIT of the list it would
be nice if someone POSTED that procedure and elevate the MEAN clue of the
list - not berate people for simple questions like you have - you jerk.

End of thread.
