I feel you. I know a lot of people by now and some are Cisco employees with
4-5 trips to the candy factory with some amount of TAC experience too. And
still others who do it 2-3 attempts.
I know the numbers go up quickly and I don't think its happening that way in
RTP and San Jose. I've sat with enough people and know too many others who
go and go again and again.
Besides, the guy should have given Brian Dennis's approach to the question.
Put a Switch be Foundry, Juniper, Cisco and Nortel on the table...
Look for the Cisco Logo...
Take your arm and wipe the switches off the table that don't have the Cisco
Logo...
Game over.
I don't think Cisco makes Hubs anymore. So therefore the reasoning is
solid it would have to be a switch... a Cisco Switch.
Ok - I'm not quite Narbik or even Brian Dennis and my humor is dry.
