You guys, I realize now I did this all the wrong way but I'm glad. Not having any idea what was involved in a CCNA, I attended four three-semester-hour Cisco courses at a local junior college, where the instructor also had not had any Cisco and we were all winging it. We spent three to four hours every Tuesday and Thursday night for most of a year, hands-on with a bunch of 2501's and Catalyst switches, making cables and trying one thing and another and messing up and recovering and doing all the lessons in the Cisco curriculum. We were not sure what we would need to know and how well we needed to know it, so we achieved overkill I'm afraid. My son and I, who have little money and live in a trailer in the woods, managed to buy a used 3801 and an old 2501 and made a home lab and tried out everything we could find to try. Long story short, every person in our class and the instructor passed the CCNA easily. Now my son and I are beginning to be involved with a bank with lots of branches and routers, and they're needing tuning and new configuration. I have confidence in giving this bank a proposal to work on their machines because when I DO run into something I can't quite handle, I know what questions to ask and where to ask them and how to implement the answers. And when I sit down at a Cisco router or switch my fingers know what to do. Long story short, I am REALLY glad I did not do the braindump, bootcamp thing with this CCNA/CCDA cause what I've got now is mine to keep.
