One more tidbit....

If you need to test connectivity in a lab environment without access to two
hosts, use the Catalyst 5000 management interface (sc0) and the Catalyst
3920's BRFs. It's easy to move the sc0 interface on the Catalyst 5000 around
to different VLANs (change the IP address and default gateway also) and put
IP addresses on the BRF's inside the 3920 for testing. We use them in class
to test things like ACL's, IPSec, etc.

A couple more tidbits....

Setup HyperTerminal to the largest "backscroll buffer lines" number it will
take so you can go back and see what a routing table looked like or what a
config looked like earlier in the day if the need arises. This of course in
under the properties settings (File... Properties....Settings) in
HyperTerminal. You may also setup HyperTerminal to cature everything to a
file using the capture text option. This is under (Transfer....Capture
Text).

Your routers and switches should be able to survive a reload. I would advise
right before lunch saving all the configs. Then reload your routers and
switches and see if everything is still working when you come back from
lunch. As you know certain things can change when a reload happens. Also
somethings may even start working after the reload that didn't work before
;-)
