I think it's an interesting idea. Certainly I'd love to post real-world
stuff and get ideas from experts and I enjoy participating in other's
real-world stuff. It's just that we need to keep that sort of thing to a
low roar around here and lately some have been treating the professional
board like a free online network engineering/consulting service.

Of course, if you made it CCIE-only (which probably isn't a bad idea), I
wouldn't be able to join for at least another handful of months...

Hey all,

 

The truth is that, in the real world, things don't work exactly how they're
supposed to, or you encounter undocumented or unexplored situations. I know
I do, especially with certain voice and advanced technologies (like CCA,
MARS, Call Manager, etc.).

 

For all those CCIE LinkedIn-ers, I've created a group on LinkedIn.com and
want to gauge interest. The idea is for a "Net Pro"-like discussion, but
more conveniently accessible via mailing list (I plan to use Google Groups).
This would be a forum for asking technical questions and providing answers
on anything and everything Cisco, but not-I repeat-NOT related to the CCIE
lab. I know I see tons of posts here on Groupstudy that don't apply to the
lab, so it may be a natural fit for these subjects.

 

Some of the areas I would think are important:

 

1. No marketing/advertising/sales

2. No CCIE lab questions

3. No recruiting or job opportunity/inquiry posts

4. Etc.

 

Anyway, if you're interested, click on the below link. I'm still trying to
gauge whether this should be a CCIE-only group or whether to let anyone
join, but it may be related to interest level.thoughts?

 

(watch the wrap)
