Stanford,
You hit the nail on the head. In my final week of preparation, I was
doing nothing but working on speed on my own scenarios. I was setting up
the ugliest redistribution scenarios you could imagine - 6 routers
redistributing out of an 8 router lab. Just did it over and over with
different protocols and different masks in various places. Made a huge
improvement as my speed more than doubled on setting up the IGPs.
This list is also a good test. When you're close to being ready, I'd
say 95% of the posts asking a question you should be able to answer, or at
least have a real good idea what the issue is. "Spotting the issue", as
Bruce C. would say.
Good luck.
P.S. I don't know if many of you saw this, but Cisco has ADDED IS-IS to the
written exam. Wondering if they may be putting more emphasis on that in the
lab...
