    Would you consider your self a "philologist"? If not, how would you describe the fundamental difference of what your forte is and that of the philologist.

    I work at an IT solutions provider as a datacenter and network engineer. I started off at this place specializing in virtualization and storage but have currently shifted my focus to networking full-time. I'm mostly post-sales but do spend some time in a presales/SE-type role as well for some products.

    In my previous life (and sometimes on the side still, because only having one job is no fun) I was an IT systems admin doing end-to-end infrastructure and user architecture and management.

    At interesting to see how many of you are working scientists or university professors, pretty cool stuff.

    I'm a curmudgeonly employment lawyer myself, aka the fun police.

    Nice! If you haven't heard of gns3, I highly suggest you look it up. There's a plethora of sites with labs to go along with it too. Fantastic CCNA/CCNP study tool.

    I'll definitely check it out, our company offers Skillnet as a study guide site but its kinda all over the place. Thanks for the suggestion!

    No problem. Its an application that let's you take various Cisco device OS images and virtualize them to set up a virtual lab for any everything from basic route/switch to configuring ipsec tunnels and so on. You need kind of a beefy machine to run it well, but its free and though open-source it has great support.
