Happy is the man who learns from his mistakes. Wise (or cheep in my case)
is the man who learns from others.
Let me start this.
While working on an OSPF issue between three routers, I found that even
though all was coded correctly, I had to clear the route table on the center
router before it would pick up the third routers routes. Nothing more, just
clear the route. Well... I had been looking at the configs for 30 minutes
before I just tried clearing the route table. It worked! Now... That 30
minutes can burn up pretty quickly while any of us are in the actual lab.
Since this is a help-each-other-out kinda list, I thought that if we all
added some of the more common "pitfalls" to a central list, maybe someone
won't have to burn 30 minutes (or longer God forbid) on something that is
common but we just haven't seen before.

Well my experience is that just reading from other persons experience
won't get
you there to passing the lab. You need hands on practice on the routers.
And the more practice the better. The best approach that I have seen is
to
built your own home lab. And as a lot of members have mentioned they
have
sold the routers when done.
