A little about life…and tech…and sometimes how they are the same

CCIE-V Lab Prep–Weekend 05/14–05/15/2011

Hello All,

As you may or may not know I have scheduled my second attempt at the lab on July 5th in RTP.  That being said I have been living in the lab.  This weekend I got quite a bit accomplished in the area of increasing my speed.  I focused a lot on getting into my routers, knocking out the required tasks (QoS, SRST, H323, GK, CUBE, etc.) and getting out of them and into the CUCM.  I want to be able to read my lab, get it sectioned out and get my routers out of the way within the first 1.5 hours.  So, I broke out all of my practice labs and did just that.  I would load my rack, start the clock and go go go!  I would have the book closed with my pencil and paper just like you would at the beginning of any lab.  I would sit down, start the clock and open up and start the reading process.  After I had all of my tasks laid out for each device I would begin configuration.  After I felt I had completed all router specific tasks I would stop my clock and verify my work.  Then start all over again.  I will say that I am now scary fast when it comes to the router tasks and am ready to move on to the CUCM and all of the things that are based upon it.  I also saved my router configs so I do not necessarily need to configure them every time.

I was unable to schedule lab time for today and tomorrow as I have work related stuff going on and there is a class in san Jose also if I am not mistaken.  Check the calendar to see my labbing schedule.

Have a great day!

Dan
