This does bring forth some interesting problems I think. How will these CCT certs really pan out on a professional level? Will companies treat these certs as they do CompTIA (you've got them, but they don't really count since they are "mandatory")? Aside from specific knowledge, would someone who is CCNA or higher certified really find any benefit from these certs on a personal marketablility (not a real word, I know) aspect?CompTIA: Net+, Sec+

I haven't seen a fake device (that I know of) in a couple years though.CompTIA: Net+, Sec+

Optionsjibbajabba Member Posts: 4,317 ■■■■■■■■□□We had the problem where a switch / router (forgot which) didn't accept licenses and Cisco refused to support this. For some reason this device had a part (ROM ?) which wasn't certified Cisco .. We bought it officially from a known company here but it was refurbished so it seems it was "fixed" using uncertified parts ..My own knowledge base made public: http://open902.com
