Hi David,

Not too bad - got 935/1000 with pass mark 804.

Will crack on with the ICND2 now so will be back in touch next week maybe depending on how it goes.

Cheers!

Thank You

Great TOOL!!!! (CCIE Command Memorizer)

Robert Pethick

 

Thanks for the great tips, i knew it was possible but could not recall the command for this and other tips  like sending messages via TTY etc... can be helpful when in a sensitive area no mobile etc... with voice / unified comms developing so fast more tips in this area would be very welcome.

Thanks again.

I have been using ConfigureTerminal.com and reading the newsletter on a regular basis during the last 6 months.

All I have to say is that it is an incredibly useful site for networking professionals.

It has helped me a lot with my CCNP studies and daily tasks at work.

My most sincere "Well done" to David Bombal and his team.
