Finnished IPv6

Had a week just studing IPv6. Think I have grip on general IPv6, tunneling, redistribution and IPv6 routing now. I have booked mocklab 2 and start 6 AM saturday morning. Will study multicast until then.

Finnished Mock lab 1

I finnished mock lab 1. I got a score of 89. I got reachability after 3 hours and had plenty of time to verify. I missed to verify on ipv6 address of one the interfaces and lost 2 points. I lost another 3 points because wrong routing because of the first mistake, wrong ipv6 address. I missed 2 points of a simple frame-relay task. I missed it because I did a pppoFr solution and the proctor said that was changing the encapsulation of the interface. I don`t aggree because its still encapsulation frame-relay on the main interfaces, I just running ppp over it.  ...  read more »

Finnished Lab 11

Well my plan is to go deep into ipv6, reading from doccd, lab on dynamips and go through Netmaster class in ipv6. Next weekend I will to start on lab 1 again to gain speed and precision and recap some of the features that is not core.

Lab Study Strategy

I been trough the COD twice, two different versions, latest was 4.5. It made a big difference when I started to lab over the volume II labs again even when the labs had good solution guide. I take my time and dont rush through the labs, so one lab can take up to two days. I do the labs and then verify with SG for every time I do a task. Just to get the understanding, I can work with speed later. I did take the first 6 volume III labs, but I use 5 hours on them so I know I have to work with speed. Its not a concern yet.  ...  read more »
