Petition Cisco for Educational IOS Licensing

Tony Mattke · 2010.07.07 · 1 min read

Greg Ferro of Etheralmind.com has started a petition asking Cisco to embrace those who pursue Cisco’s certifications a legal course of licensing without the cost of building a home made space shuttle. Please take some time and read / sign the petition.

We want to be able to practice that knowledge, and demonstrate our competence. We know that you are considering the value. This petition is to show our need for this solution. Wendel Odom discusses the possibility Cisco Considers IOS for Certifcation Self Study and we are calling for Cisco to make an option available.

This experience and knowledge we gain gives us the capability to make the most of Cisco equipment for our employers, your customers. We help drive the best return on investment, and keep the network performing in the way that your customers expect. We can test configurations prior to making and be better prepared. We can develop more complex configurations than would otherwise be possible, and not blame the equipment afterwards.
