RE: Can I take my laptop to lab exam

Don't misunderstand me. I don't suggest that you memorize EVERY command
- that's a stupid thought to even entertain. My point is only that the
DOC CD is not the answer. If you use it, you are not ready; it's there
as a parachute, not as a tool. You should use your knowledge of the
technology and the help system (? prompts) to figure out the commands
you need, and avoiding the DOC CD will get you through in the least
amount of time.

But that's only my opinion...

Joe,

Anyone who thinks that they have every command and it's proper use
memorized is not ready for the exam. If you have spent all your time
memorizing every possible command then you certainly haven't left
yourself time to do much REAL study. Even the best of us will have to
refer to the Doc CD at some point.

The object of your study should be to know the core topics COLD. If you
want to pass then you can't afford to lose any points on core topics. I
have every intention of using the doc CD to help me on obscure topics.
I will have my base config done by lunch. This should leave the entire
afternoon to look up obscure topics and commands, and review configs.

That isn't to say that I'm not going to at least touch every topic in my
practice studies, but I'm certainly not going to waste too many hours on
IPSec if I don't feel completely comfortable with BGP.

Just my 2 cents.

Joe Martin

If you even need the doc CD at all, you aren't ready.

Dude, yes hyper terminal in on the lab exam. it will
be up and ready on your screen when you walk in. YOu
can even TELNEt to the routers if you wish. The
proctor is VERY helpful for questions like this.
Notepad and Calculator is also available. THe W2K PC I
was on In SJ had all the functionality.

You don't need bookmarks just know the Doc CD and open
your browser. If you need your bookmarks your NOT
ready for the exam.
