gomez’s blog

I am not writing this blog that often as much as I would like to. But that is kind of normal, I would say so, because it is summer time. I have noticed in last few years that Blog community is not that active over summer, like in the other parts of the year. I was off for almost a month, vacations and other took a place in activity. I can see that cloud computing enters on big doors this year, so that is something interesting where can we expect news from big dealers. Also 100GbE competing between Cisco and Juniper is going on, it will be nice to follow up that story as well.

However, good thing that I was working on in past several months and I was not mentioning that on my blog is that I was preparing for Cisco CVOICE exam. I have passed exam with 92% or something like that, and I am really proud on that. Ok, it is very similar to CCNA Voice, but some topics are covered with lot more details than it is case with CCNA Voice. Exam contains around 60 questions, and I was surprised that there is just one simulation. I was reading about exam on several forums before going to it, and it seems that other people had one or none of the simulations, which is something that surprises me from Cisco. There was several drag and drop questions as well. I don’t have intention to speak about questions but there was a lot of E&M ports related questions, so beware!

Next cert that I intend to work on is CIPT. Good thing that Cisco did is that they left opportunity to install Cisco Unified Communications Manager in VMware. That is really good because we are now able to create home labs and prepare it without renting a rack or buying expensive HP or IBM compatible hardware in order to test some things. That is all for this blog post.
