CCNP - SWITCH - Planning topics

Discussions on the web indicate that the CCNP SWITCH exam asks much more about 'Planning' your deployments.

A good point of reference is - http://dhucaby.wordpress.com - written by Dave Hucaby who wrote the Official CCNP SWITCH Certification guide, the blog expands on the topics outline in his book particularly on Planning.

It appears that some of the official Cisco material may be lacking in this area so brush up any gaps via Dave's blog and you shouldn't go wrong.

New Year, New Job!

It's been a while since my last entry. We've had Christmas, New Year, family time, work, and studies. I've also had a recruitment process to contend with.

Last week I was pleased to find that I was successful in my application to become a Cisco specialist at an ISP based in North Yorkshire.

My current role is in doubt and so I decided to jump before I was pushed. In my new role i will be getting to develop those skills learned at the Cisco Networking Academy and I'll be able to get hands on with Service Provider technologies such as MPLS VPNs and BGP.

I start in February and I can't wait :o) , the team I'll be working with are really nice and friendly and already I feel I'm going to enjoy working there.

Game On...
