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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Internetwork Expert Volume 2 Lab 6 is rated at a level 7 so I was expecting some level of difficulty. After I read through the lab, I said to myself “wow - can I do this?”. Well it was not that bad but required a few DOCCD lookups. Read more

Just finished IEWB Vol 2 Lab 5 and I think it was a great experience. Before I go any further, this lab had 12 points for IPV6 and most of the configuration was related to BGP for IPv6. Last time I checked, BGP was NOT on the lab blueprint so I ended up skipping that section. Also this lab had a different order of sections so I had to rearrange them for a structured approach.

Another Level 6 lab with almost 65 dedicated to core technologies but I don’t mind that at all. This lab had some initial configuration errors that we had to fix aka troubleshooting. I was able to locate 2 of the 4 errors because I was being lazy. Well here is a brief review of IEWB Vol 2 Lab 4: Read more
Internetwork Expert Volume II: Lab 3

This was another diffculty level 6 lab so according to most people this won’t be that difficult. My approach for atleast first 10 labs is to take my time and understand exactly what they are asking. This is what Brian Dennis recommends to focus on understanding rather than rushing through the tasks. I was surprised to see the core section had a total of 66 points. Read more
