I read most of the posts in regards to people saying they met CCIE's that did
not even know what a console port was. ( Kinda funny in a way ).
I think the important part to realize that the term CCIE stands for an
individual that is able to figure things out in a timely fashion and more so
think on his/her feet. I think for those who just hammer a way at the books and
memorize all they can about OSPF, RIP, BGP etc are missing the ride. The fun is
actually studying the information and applying it debugging it, breaking it
and then moving on. In the end you will be a better engineer. Now for the ones
that are trying to cheat so what. The only thing they will gain is
embarrassment when they arrive for a job interview and the real CCIE figures
them out. More so the ones out there that get suckered into buying fake labs on
line, paying 1400.00 dollars to take the lab only to find out when it is much
too late that they bought a fake lab. Now that has to be funny as heck! Imagine
the guy that does this. Drops 1400.00 US on the real lab, paid who knows what
for the fake one, shows up on lab day and spends the rest of the time wondering
how he is going to get his money back for the fake labs. Just buy the ones that
everyone else does, study for a couple of years and then go and pass the exam.
Come on people!
Now to address the interview questions. I would never ask a candidate a
specific OSPF question or BGP question. If it is technical you want then just
ask them to explain the differences between the different protocols. Then you
just sit back and listen. My favorite question that was asked to me back in
1999 ( yes I am of age :-) ) was one simple question. Please explain to me the
path a packet takes from point A to point B.
Just my 2 cents...
