OK, I did not mean to say that configuring routers and switches is easy in
the literal sense, but I have on many occasions put someone on one, showed
them a book and the help menu and sent them on their way. True advanced
configs are difficult sometimes. I guess my real point was that the network
is there to support the devices that run on it. If you as a Network
engineer have a better understanding of those devices and how they are used,
then I believe that you will become a better network engineer and technical
person.
