Fair enough (I agree with you) - not sure if you understood my mail well -
give any fool a router to configure and he/she will do it for you, what I
have learnt since I started my CCIE journey is that some of us out there
think that we know everything based on the fact that we can configure and
get it working but I have realized/learnt that its all about understanding
the technology hence the reason why I said "for what i cant remember, dont
understand or dont know, i should know where to find the answers for".

point I started the CCIE journey.
