The other day i posted a problem i was having with a 3640 trunked with 3524XL. I posted parts of the configs from both that were what mattered with trunking. I got a ton of responses, most were pretty good. One thing i did notice when reading through my email, was that there were other people posting to the list with questions on how to trunk with this swith and how to trunk with this router. It seens pretty obvious to me to scan through emails on the list for trunking if i am wondering how to do it. I wonder if other people have noticed the same thing. Alot of the answers to the questions that are asked are right under your nose (or on your screen). My intention is not to scold people but, i have been in the IT industry a whole whopping 9 months and I have come to find out that you have to research alot before you deploy. The cisco website and this list are my main to points of information. So far i have found everything i need using them. When i first started i my job, I constantly called the cisco SE that i have access to... I noticed that it got harder and harder to get ahold of him. Then one day he made an onsite visit to my company and i asked him all the questions that i had saved up. I then watched as he went to my desk opened IE and searched the Cisco web site and found everything i asked him about. I then started searching for my self and started getting the hang of the website and now can usually find what i need in just a minute or so. I used to be on a MCSE mailing list, and i notcied that most people that posted there gave their information and asked for corrections. When ever someone asked what needs to be done to do this... some one would reply back telling them to take a wild stab at if first and post it, that way you know you are atleast attempting it. That also helps foster the ability to find your own answers and build the troubleshooting skills needed. Sorry for the long post.
