I am sitting at home going over the remnants of IEBW VOL 2 Lab 3, almost done with the bgp portion of it. As i go over these labs again, i find that i can question myself on what the solution will be. I do get stuck at times contemplating which solution if more then one applies ( at least to me ) that i should go with. One problem that i have noticed is that i pigeonhole myself in spending too much time on a task and then begin to question my solution. Btw sometimes my sanity comes in to question also, and for that i go outside and take a walk.
Lessons learned so far: Dont overlook the small stuff, i have made some mistakes not configuring no sync & even skipped router-bgp id on some routers by accident. I know these type of small mistakes can cost a lot down the road. I also noticed that as i go along my threshold for configuring for several hours at one sitting is getting better. A couple of weeks ago i extended my weekends by taking Mondays off, what i learned from that experience is that there is so much time i can spend studying before the quality of retaining the material starts to falter. Biggest lesson through all this studying is that i cant stop labbing and going over the doc cd/cisco.com material. The more i practice well you know the better i get.
