I agree. While the designated purpose of this list is to help people pass
the CCIE lab, some of these off-topic discussions like the large OSPF design
are good. Do you just want to pass the lab, or do you want to be a highly
knowledgeable networking professional? I prefer the latter, and I hope most
of you do as well. The CCIE program does NOT teach you how to design a well
thought-out network. Knowing how to implement BVIs and virtual links in a 5
router network is good for the lab, but designing a production network like
that will have the people in TAC making fun of you. I think to become a
CCIE, you've got to have a desire to learn as much as you can about
networking. If you just want to learn the minimum, here's a better place to
get certified: www.microsoft.com . The nice part about email is it has a
subject. If I grow tired of a thread, I'll sort by subject and delete those
right off the bat. Keep in mind, this list caters to many people with a
wide range of skills and backgrounds. It's going to get off track a little
at times. But would I ever unsubscribe? Never!
