I think that troubleshooting is where the depth of your real world field
experience becomes important. If you have a logical, methodical approach you
will do fine, and the problems will seem very easy compared to the faults
that pop up in production networks. After all, there are only a few ways
they can physically break your lab network, which means that most of the
bugs will be in the configs. If you are familiar with the common show and
debug commands the config errors shouldn't be tough. And I have to admit I
caught a couple by just looking at the config and then working backwards to
document symptoms. The hardest part of the troubleshooting for me was the
pressure imposed by not knowing how many points I had to get.
