Perhaps if it was reworded it might not sound so NDA'ish. I had proposed
awhile back (but the e-mail was lost during the server problems a few
months ago), that we all come up with common "gotchas" that occur in
everyday work. This will make us all better engineers, not just for
ccie. Examples include:
- "no auto-summary" for eigrp (to overcome a discontiguous network)
- "no sync" in bgp
- always use "ip classless" whenever using a default route
- always configure decnet before IPX (because the mac address is
changed). Again, I added this because it's a HUGE gotcha in the real
world, even if DECnet is no longer on the lab (per the web page).
There are tons of "gotchas". I'll compile all of the results and send
them out to everyone after organizing the info by protocol, etc. Send me
an e-mail with "gotcha" in the subject line if you have an item to
add. BUT.... don't send information for items that are solely intended to
help pass the ccie lab.
Note: please don't send obscure gotchas, lets keep it to the major ones
we would normally run into in a production network so we keep the list to
a manageable size. thx,
Brian
Disclaimer: I'll compile the info and send it out to everyone as a member
of this alias and fellow cciewannabe, not as a Cisco employee. By the
way, I'm looking to swap Jan 24th in RTP with a date in early to mid Feb
in RTP (due to schedule conflict). Been putting off attempt #2, need to do
it... ;-)
