Hi David,

Once again thanks so much for knocking together such a great study aid! In my opinion, its one thing knowing the material well, and a completely different one understanding what is required of you on the day of the test – your software and simulations, without a doubt in my mind, gave me the edge I needed on the day of the test.

Really hoping that you are going to extend this kind of offering to the CCDA, CCDP and CCNP.

Kind regards,
Ian Ward (South Africa)

Thank You

Great TOOL!!!! (CCIE Command Memorizer)

I have been using ConfigureTerminal.com and reading the newsletter on a regular basis during the last 6 months.

All I have to say is that it is an incredibly useful site for networking professionals.

It has helped me a lot with my CCNP studies and daily tasks at work.

My most sincere "Well done" to David Bombal and his team.

I found the ICND1 Questions were a big help and massively contributed to me passing ICND1 exam.

Now I have completed the ICND2 course, I would like to use the same methods to hopefully pass ICND2.

Thanks for the answer, it's been getting to me for months, and I just keep forgetting to ask you for a solution. You have no idea how much time that little command is going to safe me. I'm working on a huge security network which has over 80 firewalls some of which have over 3000 lines of access-lists.

It's a pain in the neck trying to find a single host with a certain port to see if the access-list exists, so this is going to safe me a stack of time :)
