1st lab, workbook 1 ipexpert BLS

I finished my lab.

I actually did pretty amazing on it. There were 2 parts that did get me though.

"Ensure that the VTP management domain name is not advertised via CDP from R1"

Well, I knew what it was - but for some reason it seemed to obvious to me so I left it off haha.

The second one was configure telnet and use a password of ip?expert

Go ahead and try it.

It won't work - not unless you hit CTRL-V THEN the ? which apparently is some unix command and I found this very annoying. It was a small task.

16 tasks with many subtasks and I only missed 1 task and one subtask.

This lab was very intricate, but not really "hard" It just required a lot of thinking. There were issues with creating vlan 2300, which wasn't allowed on a switch in VTP server mode and I had to use transparent. That ended up breaking a few things and I had to shut/no shut a bunch of stuff.

I need to get faster though, the Layer 2 stuff is the most important foundation - but I need to just get faster at carving out my vlans.

I am really happy with my progres, I ACTUALLY feel like I am making progress.

So my grade that I got if taking a percentage is 88% if I was just taking away 2 tasks, that really didn't have any dependencies so they didn't "break" anything.

Until next time, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! GOBBLE GOBBLE
