Would it amaze you to see and R&S CCIE that cannot put security
configurations on an ASA?
Everyone has their niches of experience.
I think that vlans on a switch may be stretching it a little, because they
SHOULD know how to do that from their lab exam! But I'm sure there are many
things that aren't known how to do. Each CCIE has it's limits, and it's up
to the individual beyond that.
IMHO the more important thing was whether this CCIE was able to look things
up and fix the problem or simply walked away. THAT is the bigger issue. But
nobody knows everything, and I hear things all the time that >I< think
should be common knowledge, but based on someone else's experience and
history may not be. Everyone is different.

This really hurts me :) as I am going towards my CCIE w/o having CCIE R/S
but believe me I can do VLAN Configuration on the switches :)
Its really amazing that a CCIE Sec don't know how to do VLAN configuration
on the switches
