Richard, I wouldn't take that to mean that you should be able to look up
everything and be able to pass.

But some things are just not going to come into play in the lab. Knowing how
to find things will.

Just like this topic. So you spend time trying to remember exactly the BGP
route selection process.
Then you get to the lab and they say something like rtr x should prefer this
route without using
As path, BGP router id , med or local pref. Since these things are so
jumbled in the selction process
chances are you are going to have to look this up any how. Thus you just
wasted, well in my case, precious
brain cell space on something that you no longer need to rememeber.

Unless you have a photographic memory, or at least a bunch of unused brain
cells to store this info, you are much
better off knowing the core stuff and KNOWING where to find things on the
doc CD/site that are a little abstract.

Just my opinion,

Mike

I agree. Why remember it if it is out on the CD already?

If you know where to look it up swiftly, you don't need ot know it by heart.

There are too many things out there to try to memorize everything. Know the
important things, don't sweat the details, but know how to find them!
