Man, can I relate to your comment about your expectations on your first try.
I never figured myself for average either and by the time I went to the exam
I could do re-distribution in my sleep (as a matter of fact, I'm almost sure
I DID do it in my sleep). I concentrated on BGP the week before so much I
was really proud of myself. "Dude, I thought, you're there". I was so
confident. I looked at the lab. "Hey, I thought, I know this stuff". Then
I noticed a Token ring switch. what the *** is this? Oh well, I'll look it
up. Let's see, in the product guide,. Whoops, no that's sales shit. damn
where did they hide that? Oh yeah, read, read, read... ok, next. I breezed
thru the first few scenarios. Then a serial port went south and I spent a
lot of time convincing myself it really was broke. The proctor was pretty
cool once I told him. Shoulda called sooner, he said. Oh yeah, They also
happened to be the highest number interface so OSPF was pretty hosed too...
Let see, get rid of all OSPF statements and do it in 5 minutes, I can still
do it, I thought. I looked up and I had 1 hour to go and a BGP scenario
from hell to do. That's pretty much when I melted.... just one more hour.
That was 2 weeks ago, and I'm almost ready to try and get a lab together and
try again. A lot of people told me that you learn a lot on the first trip
to the lab and I thought they were just making excuses for themselves. Turns
out I was wrong, wrong, wrong. I did learn a lot. It's doable. It can be
beat. Hopefully, by me in a couple months.
