CCIE is Easy!

Right now I am working on the IP Services section of the Soup-to-Nuts book.

When you think about it… Any day on the job says, “go and configure xxx” “set the network up to yyy” or you might think, “something would work better if I did zzz” Normally you go away for a couple of hours and come back and its done and everyone is happy… You normally get it right too.

You might even get presented something you havent seen before. I just finished the lab on DRP in the IP Services section of Narbik’s book. I have never seen DRP before. All you need to do is press the ? key a few times and the answer is in front of you. Check the answer guide and all the work I did was right.

I think we can carry this on to how a medical professional would work.. A doctor could patch someones bleeding up. A doctor could reset a broken arm. A (specialist) doctor can perform open heart surgery.  Just like a specialist network professional can configure OSPF, tweak BGP peerings and halt a nasty DoS attack.

Now… Can a doctor reset a broken arm, do some nasal surgery, remove a cancerous growth and combat a cardiac arrest all at once and sort it all out within eight hours and have the patient mobile, living and otherwise fully  at the end of the operation?

CCIE is easy!  All you need is the ? key.  Who am I kidding?
