Re: R&S 4.0 blueprint

Hey Narbik,

Can you expand on that idea? I thought with v4.0 we were going to see:

1) 30 minutes OEQ
2) 2 hours troubleshooting
3) 5.5 hours configuration

At least that is what I got from the Ask The Expert:
http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Expert%20Archive&topic=Career%20Certifications&topicID=.ee7f99b&fromOutline=&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.2cd32078/30

So what do you mean, 7 hours?
