hi ,
thanks Chuck
maybe i overstated the attempt...
i ran into a couple of problem`s which left me with some holes ...i think
that as i now have a better understanding of what they are asking i will do
much better next time...
i used to think it was a test ....just an ( V .V .V hard exam ) ...but it is
not ....it is a test of how well you react under pressure and how good you
are about thinking on your feet...
you can never know all the answer`s to every question of the top of your
head ...
But how well do you REALLY know OSPF ...and BGP...enough so if they throw
you a curve ball you can catch it ????
enough so if they ask you an obscure question ...you can figure out what
they mean ....???
well i caught the curve ball ....i just let myself down ...i just stared at
something i have done a 100 times before and froze....forgot my head ...and
did what you must never do ...
DOUBT YOURSELF !!!!...
i had the answer in my hands...i thought ...Nahh ican`t be this ....ther
must be an other answer...???
so i went looking and didn`t trust in my own abilities ....and got it wrong
....
e.g
i was configin something ...did it right first time....That was right ...it
was ready to work ....i then re-did it 3 times ....becuase i forgot
something simple ...like " not being on the right router to see the
result`s"
as a result i wasted 1 hour....got flustered with everything else and made a
pig`s ear of the whole shop..
but that is my mistake ....my mistake for not seeing config`s CLEARLY enough
in my head so i would trust them first time..
not realising that it`s only a test ....1 i CAN pass ...if i just relax abit
..but next month ...
i will sleep config`s....i can tell you ....OH YES ....and that bugger aint
biteing my twice ....NO WAY
i have some lab time coming up .....and i will use it far more effectivly
....
and i recon that will be enough (i hope)
Cheers
steve
