I gotta throw down the hammer and buy the TSHOOT Cert Guide 300-135,

Dropped the hammer yesterday, got it for less than $50US on Amazon.

Book neglected to come with CD, so it's going back, need to order a new one from somewhere else, since that one returned was last in stock.

Don't tell me you're one of those weirdos who likes forming OSPF adjacencies across trunks.   :problem?:

I've seen that in wide use on a large campus. The network shop had a super high turn-over rate and what existed was the remnants of someone using the production network as a CCIE lab. I found all kinds of crazy stuff on that network.

Interesting book so far.  read first 7 chapters,  covers alot of theory very shallow,  make one think it would be _very_ useful for a pre interview study session.

Lol, yeah. I'm still working on my VPN CCNP re-take for cert renewal and still reading for CISSP. Took a detour to read other stuff, but for CISSP, all reading is good reading, it seems.

completely lost any study momentum. CWNA (wireless Layer 1+2 theory) makes me want to slit my wrists. Firmly in the important-but-oh-so-boring category.


doesn't help that work has ramped up to mental levels, zero energy left by the time the kid goes to sleep.

LOL this is so me right now.  The last thing I want to do with the little free time I have before I have to get up the next day and do it all over again, is study....  ugh.

No excuses, though. You know you want what's at the other end of that effort.

Yeah, I suppose I should keep my opinions to myself if they aren't relevant or drag down the thread.  Sorry.

No, don't beat yourself up here, buddy. The best way to keep on a goal is to talk about it and to have others sharing your objective. Pull up yer bootstraps, mate! :)

Needing to get my CCNAW, trying to find info on the exam is not easy.  I have the cisco book and watching StormWind  Udemy videos but they are for the old exam...Really need to get my hands on WLC and Prime.

I need to get around to the VPN book... my procrastination's really bad: I'm writing a book on network security instead of studying...

Somebody on here keeps plugging theirs for sale, I can't remember who. Do a search if you want to buy one. I've got 4402 as well as a couple AP's I'd sell if interested. Other thing you could do is run the vWLC they've got out now. It's got a demo license but it'll work.

I'm supposed to be going through the CCNP Route material. Instead I'm dong house projects. Houses are flying off the market for higher than normal prices so we are thinking about the possibility.

Markets may be close to the peak, so don't buy until after you've sold... and as for buying... well, you don't want to go underwater.

Neither of us are from here so we don't see it as our forever home. If we can offload the biggest thing keeping us here we could rent for a year or two and have that much less to deal with before we go.
