Do you have a script to for the Switch Macro?

Do you have a list of show commands for your QoS?

Do you have a list of show commands and have a
procedure to check you Multicast configuration?

Did you double-check your BGP?

Did you verify your frame relay has no inarp?

Did you check your Switches for Root, Paths, values,
etc.

Did you check your neighbor relationships for each
routing protcol?

Did you check whatever you may have been asked to do
with regards to NAT, Telnet, SSH, DRP, WCCP, etc.?

If you have virtual links are they working, if they
are supposed to authenticate, are they? If you were
asked to authnticate on a per link basis - does this
work, how about a per area basis?

If you were asked to SPAN/RSPAN is it working, how
about any port security?

Let's see, if your were asked to Bridge, does it work?

If you were asked to use IP SLA, did you meet the
requirements asked?

If you were asked to match a table for anything or a
certain show output, does yours match as requested?

If you were asked to ensure a certain value for
anything in particular does it match?

If you were asked to restrict or allow certain routes,
even or odd, or as specified, did you meet the
requirements?

Are you prepared to ask the proctor about any
ambiguities?

If you were asked to perform some type of shaping or
policing or even queueing are your results what is
expected? How about the default class? Did you
specify it? Why/Why not? Did you ask yourself the
question?

If you were asked to change any values or DSCP values
do you know how?

If you have tunnels, did you watch for recursive
routing?

If you had to change any timers or metrics, does
everything match in the AS or domain in question?

You did not forget about Split-Horizon anywhere, did
you?

If you are given a chance to call one person - a
lifeline? Who would it be?

If you are asked not to hum... are you prepared to
work without humming?

Hmmm...

I'm sure I missed something...

But these are at least some of the things I think of
on most of my labs... these days...

In reality, I take the lab questions and try to
approach them from a layer by layer layer basis?

Does this help you at all?

Remember your checklist vs. anyone's lab - any time /
any place.

Whether you are sleepy, cold, or hot... mad or
happy...

Be ready for whatever may come at you through those
doors at the testing facility of your choice...
