Hey Guys,
I really wish I had the QOS CIM when I took my 1st Lab. Although we now
have it somewhere on a server.
How many of you can carry around your racks around like in the train, bus
or at the beach....That is the use for a CIM. It's a learning tool (and
a great one at that) and it has all the information you need in one place.
The topology and the logic behind every topic is what Cisco employs to train
the TAC group (got that from a Cisco friend). I have a plan to workout all
the questions in CIM on a rack (ofcourse a life one) and I can asure you
that as far as that technology is concerned I am game. This is not to over
rate the CIM....it's just a learning tool.
Regards,
Efiko
