Internetwork Expert Volume 3: Lab 4 & 5

My plan was to finish Labs 4, 5 and 6 but was only able to finish the first two. As I said before, these volume 3 labs are made for you to speedup your core skills. Both of these labs had some great scenarios that I got to work on. Lab 4 used PPPoverFR and [...]

Internetwork Expert Volume 3: Lab 3

Finally finished IEWB Vol 3 lab 3. Overall I would rate this at 7 with a huge IGP section. I did have a few issues but I was able to keep up the speed. Section 1 – Troubleshooting (10 min): There were two faults with the initial configuration. SW1′s ip address for fa0/1 was incorrect [...]

Internetwork Expert Volume 3: Lab 2

Internetwork Expert Volume II: Lab 11

IEWB Vol 2 Lab 11 was rated @ a difficulty level 9. I think looking at the rating screws me up and I start thinking that this lab is going to be very tough even before I start reading. So what I have decided now is that I will not attempt any of the labs [...]

Internetwork Expert Volume II: Lab 10

I started this lab yesterday but was not able to finish it in a day. I was able to finish upto BGP section and then some things came up. I finally finished this lab up today. This lab had a difficulty rating of 8 aka tough stuff! IGP section alone had 27 points so I [...]
