First off I want to thank all of you that follow this blog, either by being subscribed via email, subscribed via RSS, or just as regular vistors to www.globalconfig.net. In the few months that I have been running this site I have seen it go from 0 to nearly 100 subscribers and about 2,000 views a week. I wanted to take a few minutes to share some information with you about the changed I plan on making to this blog, as well as the addition of my personal blog found at http://cciestudy.brandonjcarroll.com.
When i first started this blog I was really planning on using it just for the conveyance of information to my students, seeing as I am a Cisco Certified Instructor. I eventually started writing about my studies in pursuit of the CCIE Security. In an effort to add a little differentiation I have decided to move my personal CCIE study blogging to http://cciestudy.brandonjcarroll.com and keep this site for tips, tutorials, and more for the benefit of my students.
Once I have passed the CCIE Security I will begin posting tips on this blog for those that are studying for the CCIE Security. For now I will dedicate this blog to my students benefit and mostly write about the CCNA, CCNP, CCSP, and CCNA Specializations, all certifications that I hold, have held, or am considered “Certified” in.
As I get better at video tutorials I plan on perhaps including them on a more regular basis. For now, I will post a CCNA tip each week, and will discuss the other certifications as they come up either in my classes or as you, the readers, post comments and ask questions.
If you are following me for my CCIE studies or for anything related to the CCIE please visit my site at http://cciestudy.brandonjcarroll.com and subscribe to my feed there. Continue to follow this site as well as It will also contain valuable information for your studies.
Your comments are always welcome and I look forward to hearing from you.
