Re: Fill the Gap

Thanks for your advices i just want to share my thoughts on my first
interview call which i recieved from a company in Pakistan. The interviewer
did not ask a thing related to routing and switching. instead he asked for
hardware platforms, IOS versions, WAN connectivity mediums, SDM etc. Since i
dont have indepth knowledge of these things, the impression wasn't so good.
For instance he asked suppose if i have a 2800 series router, which ios
should i use so that i can run BGP over it. and i was like wow....could i
ever answer such questions!

What i now require to know is at least the begineers level knowledge about

Cisco IOS types, versions features and their hardware requirments.
Cisco product line knowledge (like for example what series of routers or
switches can be used where i.e. core, access or distribution)
You think i am repeating, yes i am. but i think now this is what i really
want to know. so can you help?
