Filed under IEWB Vol 3

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.

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. Read more

I was able to run through IEWB Vol 2 Lab 2 tonight. This was actually a full 4 hour lab that I was able to finish in 3 hours and 27 minutes. Some of the tasks were vague so I ended up spending more time than I would have liked.  Read more

After working through full 8-hour labs, this was a nice change. My plan was to finish 3 Vol 3 labs but I ended up doing only 1. I think this is rated at level 2 since I was able to finish this in 2 hours and 15min. IE wants you to finish the lab in 3 hours.

Internetwork Expert Volume II: Lab 12

So after working my way through this lab for 2 days, I am finally done. One word of advice for you, never try to finish these labs in more than a day. This has happened to me over and over again where I will finish everything upto IGP in one day and then start BGP onwards the day after. You are playing catch-up trying to remember what you did in the earlier part of the lab.

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 that are rated at level 9 or 10. I have rearranged my schedule so now I am poised to finish Lab 20 by September 29th 2008.

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 am sure you are already thinking “redistribution”. Read more

Internetwork Expert Volume II: Lab 9

This lab is rated at a difficulty level 8 so that means it is harder than an average lab. After reading through the lab, I saw that BGP/EIGRP was pre-configured meaning more work looking through the configs/outputs to draw the topology diagrams. Also there were no initial errors to my relief and I was able to start the lab without worrying too much about the errors. Read more

Internetwork Expert Volume II: Lab 8

After getting owned by Lab 7, I was looking at something to get my confidence back. After going over the whole thing, I don’t think it was the lab that was difficult, it was more of the fact that I didn’t understand the basics of redistribution and that in turn reflected on the whole lab.

Internetwork Expert Volume II: Lab 7

I feel like smashing my head against a brick wall! I started this lab last night and finished the Switching section without any trouble. I was wondering oh wow a level 9 lab and that easy? Well I jinxed myself. First up there were 3 issues to start with and I thought I had spotted them. Well that was a mistake because that cost me about 1.5 hours during frame-relay section.
