Hey Roger

i belong to category of people who check the answers after a subsection.
For e.g. check all IGP after IGP, check all BGP after BGP and so on.

Further i classified verification into three -
1. Basic things - like IP address, rtr names (e.g. config ACL on rtrX) ..
make sure its on RTRx
... Make sure PVCs are correct ....

2. Connectivity/Feature verification
        - routes in routing table
        - traceroute; prefer this over ping ... helps in detecting asymmetric
routes
        - ping
        - For features not verified by connectivity; show commands; e.g. QOS
traffic parameters.
          You should know 'show' commands for all features

3. English
        - Have i read the question correctly; is this what was required
        - Why do i have multiple solutions for this question. Why can't i rule out
some solutions

Hope that helps

thanks
Deepesh
