It's not that bad! Reading the docs is more like using a GPS. It's
when you go to CCO, and look for sample configs; then you're asking for
directions!

directions?

Depends on the definition of 'everything'. With all the acquisitions
Cisco's made the last few years, I doubt anyone knows the entire product
catalog, much less the technology behind it. No R&S IE is going to
unbox a
SAN switch he/she's never seen before, and install it in 20 minutes. As
long as you can read the definition of a technology, and figure out what
layer(s) of the OSI model it works at, you can work from there to figure
it
out. Everyone read the docs, that's why they print them...

I have kinda of a strange question for all you CCIE's.

Do people expect you to know everything because you are a CCIE, even
things
that are not in your specialty?

I'm asking because when I finished my CCNP my co-workers and bosses used
to
say "you should know this - you're a CCNP."

What do you say to people like that?
