RE: Written Exam and troubleshooting

"most of the ccies on this list don't have the skills needed to be good at
troubleshooting" ..... Did you seriously just send that out and actually mean
it? Have you personally evaluated the troubleshooting skills of every ccie on
here? Who are you to evaluate even? Did Cisco give you this great nugget of
knowledge and you just couldn't help but sharing it with us? A very lame
comment indeed. what's your ccie #? Travis

A decent book is "Troubleshooting IP Routing Protocols", you can find it on
E-Bay...

Just remember that troubleshooting is not something that you can just read and
be done with it... Its a methodology in how you approach things! Most of the
CCIE's on this list don't have the skill's needed to be good at
troubleshooting thus the reason that Cisco brought it back to the lab. You
wont get the skill from just working on labs either as I had thought, you need
to practice it just as you would any other topic on the lab.

As I had said before, it might only be 25% of the lab but it's 50% of the
exam!

Good Luck!
