Re: frog is quad ccie now - wtf?

Agree with Scott and frog. I started out thinking juniper ie in sp would
do. After a few years working on juniper gear I made it. Then thought asr
was coming into deployments coming into clients networks so went with CCIE
sp and pursued. Now it's a mix and match of Asa and srx with Palo Alto
lurking around. On top of it customers now demand load balancer f5 and
packet shaper at wan edge. You see where am I going. Though it might not be
possible to get certified in everything, this process will go on
irrespective of certs I suppose and if have to compete or if u r working
for a employer like mine why not. People say paper certs are not that
important its knowledge that matters but again there is always a redcarpet
at least in interviews for IE may be for partnerships gold/silver etc

Well done frog it's no easy achievement
