Ok guys,
there was a thread a while back talking about dumbass CCIE's. As I prefer
not to be the dumbest CCIE on the planet, help me out with questions that
you might ask a CCIE candidate in an interview. I have had some brutal
interviews since I became IE. Honestly the questions seem a bit basic so
far, but I have had some really in depth questions about spanning-tree,
troubleshootin real world EIGRP scenarios, etc.. that really caught me off
guard. It's not that I could not have solved these issues, had I been there
logged into the routers, its explaining things we take for granted can be
tough, especially in interviews. It seems like a lot of
people are amazed that a CCIE couldn't answer this or that question.
Personally, I am trying to come up with a knowledge maintanance plan,
like reading a chapter in the exam cert guide every week. The tasks I
do not do on a daily basis fade quickly.
I have of late been going way back to basics, reading up on TCP/IP flows,
Ethernet, ARP, looking at packet sniffing traces, etc.. Someone made mention
of the CAM table populating entries, so I read up on that too.
I certainly don't know everything, but I would love to. Care to give me some
example questions you might ask a CCIE in an interview, or technologies you
would expect to have him/her to have down pat?
DR
