When I was in the ECP1 class, I spoke briefly with Val Pavlichenko about
this. Val's opinion was that it served one best to configure all layer two
and then just the ip addresses on interfaces, and then test reachability of
all directly connected links. His reasoning was that if there was a layer
two problem, you would discover it at that time, and save yourself a
headache and a lot of time further down the road.
I have read the advice of several successful and unsuccessful candidates.
There seems to be no clear opinion on this. Some prefer to do all layer two,
three, and basic routing protocols during the same pass. Then check by
looking at the show ip int brief, so ip protocol, and show ip route commands
and eyeballing. Others prefer the method of the first paragraph.
Based on my own practice results, I say the key is to develop a methodology
and stick with it.

Subject: Speed in the LAB
I was talking to someone who recently passed on his third try and he said
that he was able to greatly increase his speed, by changing his approach to
the exam.
He said that first he just reads the entire test very carefully (logical).
Then he lays out his entire drawing with all of the details.
Then he does his cabeling.
Finally he does his router configuration. But instead of configuring
different steps, he configures each router completely, before moving on to
the next router. I wonder if anyone has any comments on this, does anyone
use this method, has it worked?
