[j-nsp] 13 Tips for Passing Juniper Lab Tests

[Scott Morris]

heheheh....  It's all in entertainment.  And while I agree that there 
are several (12 sounds right) folks with 4xCCIE, I think the point was 
that having the certification does not account for experience or common 
sense.

And while I don't typically update specific route filters for people, I 
do often get into the design ideas behind them or recommend what things 
should be done where.  And having multiple CCIE's doesn't exempt one 
from occasionally doing some router work! (grin)
