Hey All,
Sort of quick update. "Re-Certification" is suppose to be easier that straight certification, right? WRONG! I am finding it just as difficult this time around as I did the first time. MANY things changed, or were just added because, as we know, technology changes all the time. The courseware seems to go through a revision every 12-18 months.
I am struggling with BGP (particularly iBGP route redistribution), PBR's (Path Based Redistribution) and pretty much all things IPv6 and IPv6 routing (RIPng, OSPFv6, EIGRP).
We have a test between noon and 5 pm tomorrow, depending how confident we are. I am hoping for 10pm if that give you a clue on how concerned I am on this test. I don't plan on getting much sleep tonight at all (typical anyway). I usually get 4-5 hours and then get right back after it.
The simplest way I can explain to anyone what a technology boot camp is all about is to tell you to go and try to get a drink of water from a firehose. And do this continually for 22 days straight for 18-20 hrs per day. Only stopping briefly to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, and shuttle back an forth to the class.
One thing I wish is that I could share this experience in common with someone from K-12 technology. It seems that nobody really knows what I am talking about. Too often I hear, "Well, I could just go and pass all those exams in one afternoon, only I can't afford the tests or the time off to take them." Well..I'll share something with those k-12 'tech' people a little later.
Back to study!
Tom
