Very often, it's not the specific answer that is given, but rather the
thought process therein. Questions such as the stages of spanning tree are
fairly common, and amazingly enough, very few people remember what they all
are. But how people respond to things they don't know can indicate a lot
about them as well.
Don't be afraid to admit things you don't know. Just don't make things up.
:) (Also, try not to argue with the person interviewing you, even if you
are right and they are not. (smirk))

Subject: I know this CCIE who wouldn't know a packet if it hit him in the
ass! ~CCIE Interview Qs~
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?
