Cisco contractors - Doomed

[snaw]

It's quite obvious I'm talking about the 90%+ of Cisco contractors without the CCIE.
You guys wouldn't need this anyhow, just use your superpowers to fly anti-clockwise around the Earth and travel back in time to prevent the problem before it occurs.

BTW There's 800 of us CCIE's in Britain - I reckon there's more than 8000 Cisco contractors ;-)

I don't see how this site will enable anyone to troubleshoot a broken network - if they don't already know what they're doing.

I'm shaking in me boots ...

Tell you what - I'll give you the rest of the day, go find out how to configure anycast - give you a clue, it involves using the same IP address in different places ;-)

Why use some overpriced lump of cr@p with a cisco badge to do something that Uncle Bill sorted for us years ago.

Forget the last, read the original posting again, Not like Anycast at all. Ciscos still overpriced though

I already have and yeah, you're probably right - don't bother me, not like I'm paying for them.

I've worked with tons other other network kit and found, on the whole, cisco stuff is expensive for a reason, the same reason why it's used all over the world and most of the internet and other large networks use it....

Their firewalls are gash mind, aviod like the plauge!

As for CCNA/CCIE people, yes there is a massive gap, but there is also a massive gap between no CCNA and a CCNA, most people will tell you the first step is the hardest, well maybes not as hard as the CCIE lab that is, even harder if you have no networking expereince!
