Passed ISCW

Well I just barely passed 795; 790 minimum passing score.

Cisco Press book, 1811 series, 2 x 871w series routers.
GNS3 with MPLS, GRE, IPSec, GRE over IPSec, and AAA labs.
Watched some Train Signal & CBT Nugget material, but not a lot.

I found the configuration of PPoE and PPoA to be the most confounding technologies; never have done it in the field. The SDM stuff was a bit pedantic; It is an intuitive program so knowing the cisco lingo is a memorization/familiarization game. Knowing the commands behind the scene CCSP stuff would be funner to learn.

This course makes me want to study MPLS and do the CCSP in the future.

On to the ONT or BSCMN I can't decide, but I feel great about only having 2 test left to do in a 6 month time table.
