    Good job. In all honestly, it all comes down to how much you know and how much experience you have gained from the real world. While the CCNA is a great stepping stone, its never easy as "I got my CCNA now i can get any job". Albeit, the CCNA might be considered more prestigious than A+ network...

    Automated service for email blacklist removeal

    Automated service for email blacklist removeal

    Content Switching Module for Cisco 6500

    Does anyone have any experience with the CSS blade for the 6500? What are your thoughts on it? We are planning to deploy a 6509 for each of our server rows at the DC so we thought about using the CSS blade in each of the 6509s.

    Virtual Firewalls?

    Yeah, what i was thinking of actually virtualizing the the appliance, being able to increase capacity by adding another appliance to the cluster and distributing the load. The servers/clients would not know there are 10 dedicated fw appliance sharing the load, to them, its only one device.

    Shared firewall solution for ISP

    I work for a hosting company and if anyone wants a firewall, we give them a dedicated firewall. Usually Cisco or Netscreen and typical a low end model, ASA5505/PIX501,515 or Netscreen 5GT.
