IOS is all pretty easy
t. CCENT
yea
couldn't be bothered with command line autism, loonix command line makes sense, as does windows, but cisco feels painfully autistic
IOS is incredibly straightforward
or maybe I just wanted to die
Cisco will actually list the commands out for you
so I couldn't concentrate enough in high school
and give you their syntax
and no other devices are going to give you on average
you have to grasp the high level concepts of what you're actually trying to do first; then IOS is literally there to help you get it done. the damn things were built with config management baked in
multiple years of uptime
cisco stuff is mostly made in Hong Kong right
like former crown colony HKU engineering
Hong Kong
all very solid
and now somewhere in Eastern Europe
it feels outdated and like some high school autist could just make a simple gui wrapper to make it less painful
it's funny
or maybe that was my mental illness making me incapable of basic tasks
for their MPLS clients
it. sucks. ass.
you can't believe how horrible it is
where I agree with you re: cisco pain is how things can go horribly wrong if you don't know wtf ur doing
but that's why certs matter for network engineering and not so much for unix admin
a cisco config is a sharp blade and when you write a command you best know wtf ur doing
what would you recommend if I wanted to get a network job fast, what certs are good?
everyone and their mom has a CCNA. it's a neccessary and a given. You probably want a leg up on other's by focusing on a particular industry and learning the reqs for it, e.g., if you want to do finance and ecom you should learn what is needed for PCI compliant networking gear. also what part of networking do you want to focus on
getting a job fast actually is counter to getting a cert
certs are more for cementing your creds and to make employers comfy with your skill level for any possible bounceback period from a layoff
CCNA's have a 1.5% unemployment rate in my state
you can made double starting if you invested the same time in bootstrapping a cisco-centric networking career into learning how to set up VPCs on AWS.
promode is doing both š
do you think I could be ready to take the test in a month's time?
I'm in school for software engineering but I gotta drop down to half time and work full time while I finish my degree due to some shit
