My plan is to use show cdp nei and draw out my L2 diagram first. I can
finish it with info from the switching section (trunks, port channels,
etc.). I find that I refer to this diagram quite a bit when troubleshooting
vlans and ip connectivity.
Next, I plan to draw out a routing protocol diagram with different color
circles for each protocol. I add vlan/subnet/dlci info to the links. I may
add multicast RP, MA, source and destination info if needed (I use
double-asterisk to mark source and dest, a single asterisk to mark IP
multicast interfaces and RP and MA acronyms to avoid clutter). I use the
given diagram for more details.
I also plan to make a task chart to see where I am in the test, listing
point values for each. This way, I can manage my time better and guage
myself.
