MCSE's~! Question..

[dawks]

I just nabbed my MCSE a few weeks back.. took 210, 215, 216, 217, 219, 221, and 223

Now its time to polish up my resume.. What did you put to discribe your certification? Did you put the MCSE logo on your resume?

Anyone care to share theirs?

No, I put it near the end in the "Education" section. But then again, I haven't had the need to use it. My current job paid for it so I figured I should stay for a while longer.

I think the logo looks kind of gaudy and cheesy, so I normally just put my certifications (text form) under the skill section on my resume

 

[acidvoodoo]

how hard is it to take? how long does it take? what areas does it cover/u shud be good at? is it good enough alone to get u like a low level techie job durin college?

A+ would be more worthwhile for getting a techie job during shool. MCSE is more of a career certification..

It took me a 9 month course, but it was pretty comprehensive..

Can any of you tell me what the practical applications of subnetting are?

Are you being serious?

Subnetting sucks! but really, its most basic benefit is controlling network traffic. If you put 500 computers on 1 ethernet subnet, you have a massive amount packet collision, and the packets would have to be resent.. ie, your data on the network would be like rush hour in LA.. Not a fun experience.

Well what I mean is:
Is there a point to classful subnetting? Why don't I just make up whatever the hell I want and seperate heavy broadcast boxes with switches or routers? ^Serious question

 

[dawks]

I never really got much into subnetting (at least not yet) because I never liked it.. But if your using routers, your subnetting anyway.

There is class D (I think?).. addresses used for broadcast based networking... Hmm, I forgot how that works.. So you could give your Nics a second IP in the broadcast based IP range and allow the switches and routers to forward to the certain subnets you want the broadcast traffic to go too...

this would be good for video messages that a company would need to send out..
