My question is actually two fold:

In the real world will I find that the routing protocols and IP addresses on the interfaces of a company’s routers and switches were pre-determined by the network manager who then presented this information to his network administrator to be manually configured on each interface?

In the real world, what are the most widely used WAN protocols? I was told there is not a lot of frame relay left in the US. This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me since the CCNA course I am taking is spending a lot of time on Frame Relay. On the other hand, if this is true, what then, is becoming the preferred WAN protocol?

You would be looking at S2S VPN and MPLS. The new CCNA will cover these more.

Shouldn't this post along with the other obvious CCNA question be moved into the CCNA section... this is for CCNA WIRELESS.
:confused:

I attempted to delete this post awhile back and even emailed the web master to pull it so I could move it to the CCNA section.

Yea, the web master is a slacker. All he does is consult, write books, and then teach his CCNA. He is a good looking guy, though...
Plus, he love to write about himself in the third person....hehe

I'll get to this later this weekend, maybe.

That's ok, I learned a lot from him, so he can have as much time as he needs.
