CCIE On Hold – CCVP In Play

So as much as I like the thought of “getting my numbers,” – I just can’t get back into it yet it seems. I’ve tried a few times, but for whatever reason, my mind isn’t working with me here. I don’t like having that feeling of something looming over me that I’m not actively working on. So instead of living what that feeling of “I should be doing xxxx to help move this along,” I’m switching paths…to the CCVP.

We recently brought up a satellite office on a call manager express set up, which will eventually tie into our main office when we roll it out later this year. We’re also migrating all of our (albeit only 3) remote offices to voice over IP, so I think that will help to keep me in good shape for the CCVP battery of tests.

While the CCIE R&S is generally just an expansion of the CCNP topics, I know very little about voice and related concepts. It will be nice learning completely new technologies, and not just revisiting stuff I already know somewhat, but need to learn in more depth. I’ve already ordered the CVOICE study guide and am working my way through that for now. So far, so good! It’s nice to be genuinely interested in the material again. Hopefully, I can pull this off by the end of the year…a little ambitious, but manageable I think. QoS may have its way with me though…we’ll see.
