Really?

I made sure that on the 2nd & 3rd (Passing!) try that I was able to do the
first 4 sections by HEART without looking anything up... I finished those
way before lunch and had lots of time to look up things in the more
difficult areas.

It really doesn't take a lot of time to look things up... Below is my
methodology for using the Doc CD... I share this with everyone that will be
taking the lab.

How to use the Doc CD:

Open the Doc CD

Under the "Cisco IOS Software" pull down menu, choose "IOS 12.2"

On the next page, RIGHT CLICK on the "Cisco IOS Release 12.2 Master Indexes"
and choose OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW.

On the page that comes up, CLICK on the "Cisco IOS Configuration Guides
Master Index, Complete"

Leave this page up and go back to the other window.

On the first window you had open, click on "Supporting Documents"

Here you will find another treasure trove of information.

Now that you have the two windows open, here is how you use the CD.

On the Master Indexes window, press CTRL-F to open the browser find
function. Type in the keyword you wish to search for such as 'syslog' and
press <enter>. You can click the little "Up" or "Down" direction buttons to
search up and down the page.

When you find what you are looking for, RIGHT CLICK on the link and choose
"Open in a New Window". Never directly click on a link on the index page.
Always open it in a new window. This is to save you time. Play around with
this and get the feel for it. It WILL save you time.

Back on the Supporting Documents page, right click a link and search through
the books. Learn where EVERY topic can be found on those books. from LAN
Mobility to EIGRP to RIP to DLSW to Switching. Basically, every thing that
you know where to find, you won't have to use the browser find function on
the master indexes page.

Above all... DO NOT USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION ON THE CD. It will cost you time
and is not helpful. Use the CTRL-F (find function) on the Master Indexes
page to do your searching instead.

one more detail I have not seen in this thread -
the DOC CD is fine & you need to be familiar with it but you are ASSUMING
you will even have time to look ANYTHING up !

The day goes by very fast. I don't think I ever looked at it the DOC CD I
was done.
