Hey! I supposed to talk about what CCIEvault is and what it is for, so I just tell you the basic principles:

1) First of all, this site was made as a place where I can keep professional information. I just forget everything all the time, so let it be here

2) Keep things easy, the goal is quick learning/recalling (quick and I hope not so dirty :)

3) Third rule is to provide my personal experience along with basic information (so called best-practices)

4) And fourth, last but not least, provide the next step(s), for those who need more detailed info,links to guides, sources or manuals.
