what is CCP ???

any body know what is ccp - cisco configuration professional ???

Cisco CCP is a web-based configuration tool that automates/simplifies router and security configuration using wizards. It's similar and newer than SDM.

it also uses way to much memory of the pc its running on and pollutes the configuration even more then the SDM did

I don't get it.. what is the purpose of SDM, CCP?!

Don't let anyone without proper knowledge touch your network equipment, and people with proper knowledge only use CLI.

The biggest challenge of ccna security for me was that louzy SDM where you have to configure VPN tunnels.. what a mess..

Just use CLI to configure your VPN, and there you go

I also prefer CLI Chojin. It forces me to understand every thing. But you know some times even people with proper knowledge have junior assitances with moderate knowledge. These were highered just to help when the head admin is not there. They might NOT need to know every thing about CLI to do there job, or some times SDM, CCP is much quicker to learn for them to do common straight forward tasks. These Juniors might move on to different jobs in the organization, given there mental abilities are exposed, so it's not always in there manager's plan to let them master the CLI as it can be time consuming to do so.

Again, I do CLI more, but I like the look and feel of a neat user interface

Shame on you .
There isn't a better interface and certainly not a better look then the CLI ....
