Last night i completed lab 1. I did run across some trouble with task 3.7. I can do the redistribution but i cant see the routes on R1 or R2. I was very close on my redistribution solution before i looked at the solution, the answer was to redistribute the interfaces which i did, the only difference was my metrics were not the same. But even after i followed the solution to a T, the routes did not come across on R2 & R1. I left it at that after doing some initial troubleshooting since my goal is now to knock out one lab each day mainly focusing on eigrp, rip & FR. I know i didnt have this problem the last time i did this same lab, so i am wondering what i did wrong. I plan on going back on the weekend and labbing up the ones that i got stuck on. I felt that as long as i knew the how to provide the solution, that was part of the task completed, but i am not happy with why the routes didnt get sent out.
Ok so no big gotchas from last night.
Items that i am getting better with are:
My speed.
My method for focusing on the topology and asking myself what problems/traps i can visualize.
Reading re-reading each task before i start configuring. I have caught myself several times just going at the terminal and have made mistakes before, so thats getting better.
Creating aliases in notepad is also becoming second nature, especially the ones that i like to use the most. I will post them later on down the road once i have my most tried and true ones nailed down.
Ok, its time for me to get back to the daily grind now, going to work on lab 2 tonight.
