RE: Re : Default port-channel load-balance for 3550 ...

My two previous lab attempts I was unable to access the 3550 documentation
and other things.

As cisco moves more and more documentation away from the univercd homepage
you will have less and less help in the lab. If you "follow the links" you
get a red box "DENIED" from the IE lab's http firewalls

;(

It's ok... I'm getting faster and faster and memorizing really complex steps
in preparation for my next sortie into the land of watermelon juice.
