Subject: [OSL | CCIE_SP] Hi Guys
Hey Everyone,
I thought I'd send out an email to this list and find out how many
active subscribers we have. As you've probably noticed I'm one of
IPexpert's instructors (I teach R&S and Security courses having just
moved to the USA from Australia), so I figure it's time to drum up some
activity on the SP list as I take on my next challenge.
Some of you may also have noticed (in my email signature for example)
that I'm NOT a Service Provider instructor (yet). :-)
Effectively, much like many of you (please tell me there *are* many of
you reading this forum) it's about time I follow up my R&S CCIE with a
Service Provider one. So I thought I'd see if there is anyone out there
who'd like someone to bounce questions around with together as we work
towards our SP CCIE's. Yep - I need some study buddies. ;)
And to keep the playing field level, whilst there *are* other Ipexpert
instructors that I can email my questions to directly (Marvin and Scott
for example) I'm going to post most of my questions through to the
forum, just like any other student would - so if you've ever wanted to
see an instructor make a bit of a fool of himself as he tries to grasp
the complexities of advanced MPLS (if I knew the answers to my questions
I wouldn't ask them), there could be some fun to be had in here over the
next few/many (hopefully few, but you never know) months.
For the record as well, just like with my R&S and Security CCIE lab
study I'm limiting myself to exclusively using IPexpert materials for my
lab preparation (and my Cisco Press reference library for some theory -
you know you're a nerd when your favourite author is either Wendell
Odom, Jeff Doyle or Beau Williamson). With the first 2 tracks I paid for
them out of my own pocket, so I had to be picky in choosing courseware
(and chose IPexpert thanks to a colleagues recommendation) as I had to
maximise my return on my investment. Now I work for IPexpert (yep, I'm
happy about that) so if I used anything else, I'd probably get yelled at
by Wayne. :-)
If some of you guys would be kind enough to start posting your Service
Provider related questions in here too so that I don't feel like I'm
totally alone in this journey, that'd be great too - we created OSL to
establish a vibrant email list for study questions (as well as it being
the place to go to for questions related to the IPexpert labs
specifically) so this is where I'll be reading and posting for some time
into the future...
I hope to hear back from you all.
Cheers,
