Every time I had gone they made us leave everything at a desk by the
proctor. No cell phones, pda's or pagers. No pencils or pens. They give you
water and soda for free IIRC so you don't need to bring it.
Being relaxed is important, and it would be good if you had a good hour or
two before time was up to check everything. A strategy is important. I did
not understand what that meant until after my first attempt and I had wasted
time on a couple things that were only a point or two.
If you skip things, when you go back, go for the largest points first. Do
not spend time on 1 or 2 points if you have a 4 or 5 pointer laying around
that you could get.
If you shut something down don't forget to bring it back up.
I have heard varying reports on this, but the proctors may reboot before
checking. I am not sure if they do or not, but doing this on your own rack
might be a good idea.
I got in the habit of always setting Router-Id. This makes things easy IMHO
and can keep things from changing if they do reboot.
One of the Brians over at Internetwork Expert posted a great TCL script that
will automate checking that all IP addresses are reachable. I wish I had had
that when I went. It can take some time going from router to router checking
and cross checking the route tables and pinging interfaces. That TCL script
looks very very handy and time saving. I think it would be worthwhile
memorizing it myself.
HTH. Good luck!!
Chris

I recommend expecting that you can bring food, water, and medicine
into the lab, but that's it (maybe a jacket).
Cisco provides lots of pencils in all sorts of different colors.
You will not have the time to draw any pretty pictures though.....
If you drink one gallon of water per day like myself, you might want
to curb your water intake to 16 ounces in the morning and 16 ounces in the
afternoon so you don't have to take bathroom breaks. If you have to break
to go to the bathroom, that takes away from your time.
Be careful about drinking too much coffee in the morning. It "may"
give you the jitters, and it "may" cause you to use the restroom.
Above all..... You need to r-e-l-a-x.... If you're ready, you're
ready. If you're not, you're not!

Hello All,
Sorry if this questions breaks any policy regarding the ND of the Cisco Lab
Exam, but I never been there, and I wish to know if in the Lab we can use
Notepad and Calc from Windows, and what type of Telnet Client we are allowed
to use at the Lab (I love CRT with those many tabs that helps you compare
quick when you are in troubles)
Also I wish to know if its Ok if I bring my mechanical pencil and several
Colors Pens ?
Thanks
Victor.
