![]() I see lots of networks in prod where I have been told the guy doing it had x years of experience and the company had been trading in this for x many years. Qualified personnel have been educated and are likely to understand "best practice" requirements because you can't get best practice with experience alone. These days companies are ASKING for not just experienced personnel, but QUALIFIED personnel as well. It is the result of most of us spending time and money (in my case my own) to learn how it's done. This is not snobbery or one-upmanship or some sort of religious cult. It IS the best way to manage the vast majority of Cisco boxen, with the exception of Cisco's Wireless LAN Controller which is one of the best GUI's out there and doesn't use Java. Maybe some future Cisco software type will invent a version of CCP that doesn't entail obligatory use of faeces.Īs a Cisco novice, you seem to know a lot about it.ĬCP is bad. ![]() We were told there was no possible way of building websites without Flash but its well nigh extinct now. any suggestions ? Actually is there really a need for java.? It wasn't long ago that Adobe Flash was considered by some lunatic the bees knees although it was a prime candidate for the worst software in recorded history award. My original question regarding an alternative to Internet Explorer. Toshiba was for years considered the pinnacle of laptop technology but I hear it has now joined the dodo.

The point is that nothing on this planet lasts forever, even the Prior to that there was the Claude Neon racket that forced everyone wanting a neon light to subscribe to another kind of locked-in contract for infinity.
