Re: Fill the Gap

Khurram,

Try the CCDA and CCDP. Of course these will be 'certified' ways to aquire some
more awareness of these sorts of things. What they are looking for is some
field knowledge. You need to be studying different live instructures to see
for yourself what choices are actually made out in the field. For IOS versions
and module familiarity check out CCO and study the various platforms in
depth.

Regards
Gary
