Heheheh... In a nutshell, yes. :) Nobody can know everything, which makes
it hard, but part of being a CCIE (as you'll see by the exam itself) is
being able to take things that perhaps hadn't ever been seen before and look
up information in order to make a sound judgement. Breaking complex things
down into the basics, or simple tasks, is definitely part of being a CCIE.
Right, wrong, or indifferent, when you have the CCIE people have an
expectation of knowledge that comes with it. It's an ongoing challenge to
live up to those expectations! But that's half the fun as well.
You will find that some people are worse than others in their level of
expectation, sometimes to the point of absurdity. Different people come
from different backgrounds and have different opinions about things. Other
times you'll find folks who are simply jealous and wanting to show off what
they know and you don't. Most of the time though, things are pretty
straightforward so long as you don't go out of your way to do something
silly.

PS. Contrary to popular belief, there is no Borg-like brain dump when you
pass your CCIE.

Subject: OT - Question for CCIE's.
I have kinda of a strange question for all you CCIE's.
Do people expect you to know everything because you are a CCIE, even things
that are not in your specialty?
I'm asking because when I finished my CCNP my co-workers and bosses used to
say "you should know this - you're a CCNP."
What do you say to people like that?
