In general you should not build a broken network in the exam, or
configure features out of order that disallow you from verifying them.
If I were in the lab exam, and the first switching section was VTP, I
would skip it and move on to trunking and then come back, since VTP
can't be verified without trunking working.

Hi Sadiq
yeah, but that would mean I have to configure VTP / trunking, and it may
be
that VTP is more than one domain, meaning that I would not be able to
config
on one switch and propogate all VLANs to other 3 switches ( as there is
more than 1 VTP domain).
I am rying to establish a methodology to save time, I think:
1. Note all VLANs in ALL switches
2. Copy to notepad and apply to ALL switches
3. Config VTP, trunking etc as required.
My concern here would be that all switches have all vlans configed
wether
they are being used or not, is this likely to cost me points? What
methodology do you guys employ?
