I know you guys are gonna think I'm nuts but...
I practice troubleshooting by giving my wife a print out of all the
configs for each router after I finish one of the practice labs. I
have shown her in the past how to get into global config and so forth
so she knows just enough to be able to get around in the router. And
then she is off!
She just starts changing stuff "all willy nilly" till she gets tired.
Hey man, don't laugh! This woman can wreck an Internetwork!! She
marks the things she changed on her copy of the configs and I
document the things I have found, we then compare notes to see how
many points I get.
On a serious note, this method works great for me for two reasons.
First, there is absolutely no way to know what she is gonna do
because she doesn't know what she is doing...believe me this has
yielded some tough troubleshooting scenarios. Finally the biggest
thing is this, IT INCLUDES MY WIFE IN THIS GRUELING PROCESS! This
CCIE pursuit has cut deeply in our quality time together for the last
year.
