I don't think I'd do that, it would be too spread out and confusing.
With care you can fit everything easily on the paper given.
I did my addressing for each router off to the side, leaving a space
for each interface IP/IPX. Some people like this trick, others
don't. I learned about it in ASET. You fold your big lab paper
so you have an 8.5"x11" area in the middle and two side sections for
the network numbers and other info.
It looks like this:
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
with edges being the outside lines and the two inside lines are folds.
The folds are just there to keep you neat.
I also make a note of the last two octets on my network map for easy
eyeballing. Then use erasable color pencils for the rest. I did all
my practice labs the same way so I just knew by the color what I had,
and it was very familiar and easy for me to do. For example, OSPF
areas were always green with the area labelled. Blue squares are my
BGP ASs. The base network was in regular pencil.
For special stuff, like DLSw connections, or something like HSRP/IRDP
details I might make a smaller drawing on my other sheet of paper, just to
record it and keep it straight, but 90% of my info was on my primary
sheet.
I think a neat, clear diagram helps you and the proctor. Using color
you can really get a ton of info on your chart. The erasable pencils
don't work too great, but a good quality (white art) eraser works better
than what comes on the pencil. So I am just very careful I am using
color where I want it, but I had to erase a little in my lab and it
was ok. Definitely do not get ones that don't erase. You can buy
a set in the USA anyway at OfficeDepot/Max sort of places for about $5.
I learned in ECP1 also to record in a short list all of my routers --
their OS, model, and flash image. It might come in handy. I did this
on the back on one of my pages.
