Good day Rohit,

I am reading your message and I do not understand WHY you say that you
have NO experience.

Remember your experience has to be within two or more of the ten domains.

When I see you talk about maintaining SLA's, this is most certainly
experience that counts if you have a role to play in the planning,
design, maintenance of your SLA strategy.

You mention CISCO stuff,  if you design, architect, lead others on
projects where telecommunication is involve that counts as well for
experience.

The ten domains are VERY wide and cover about 400 topics.  You
probably have done stuff in the past that maps to those domains.

ENDORSEMENT

Regarding the endorsement,   the endorser does NOT have to be a CISSP,
however ISC2 prefer a CISSP.  If you do not know of any CISSP than use
your boss if he knows you well, or use a co-worker who has another
professionnal certification such as CCIE for example.  Or simply state
on your endorsement form that you do not know any CISSP or anyone that
can vouch for you.

Take care

Clement
