Hi Dan,
Way to go!!!
I will face mine on Monday :)
I have a strong guts that I could handle the tasks, but we'll see how it goes.
Also, to Study Groups, thanks for being a very supportive groups all
this while during my study process.
Sorry if I don't contribute much yet as I put myself in the
'apprentice mode' :D
Even though I found many questions and answer in the list are helpful
(and confusing), but it leads to the better outcome.
At least now we know a lot of alternative ways/ methods to solve a
problem from simplest up to the complex solution (let's say advertise
connected network but not using 'network' nor 'distribute-list' at the
routing protocol config)
I will pass the good news after monday. Maybe I will see my number by then ;)
Cheers,
Dwi
