Fellas,

I think I will make the peace here as I was I think the first to reply to
this thread..

Can we all just get along? It's a long journey and sooner or later I'm sure
we all feel we have been 'spiked' by someone on the mailing list even if
it's unjustified, we just don't like it or we simply misunderstand the
intentions of the sender of the email response.

Personally I think Scott's shut down and activate as required approach is
methodical and may very well try it for a while to assess it's merits for
myself. Perhaps I won't like it.

All of you provide extremely useful content to the mailing list but let's
not be too quick to mail something that might be interpreted as CCIE
according to garp picky criticism of a considered 'what works for me'
response to a question on the list.

Anyone not agree unicast me. I can assure you my shoulders are broad enough.

Gary

Sorry you were so offended by my overuse of exclamation points. You are
obviously taking this thread very personally.

Telling me to get a life is wildly inappropriate. Too bad this list is
not moderated.

You do, however, bring up an excellent point that obtaining success in
the lab is a personal approach kind of thing. While I do not
particularly like your approach here, it could certainly work for you I
am sure.

I sincerely hope you pass soon using whatever approach works for you.

I am not shutting down a darn thing unless a task explicitly or
implicitly requires it!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact this is my rule for anything I go to do at that keyboard in the
lab!

The only thing I can recall doing that they did not ask me to was a full
connectivity test (TCL Script) and other necessary verifications. Notice
that these verifications do not actually change anything!

We had this discussion just this week. I offered that I like to shut
everything down using the interface range command and then enable things
individually as I configure/verify. It occurred to me yesterday as I
was
starting a new lab that the other advantage this has is ensuring that
you
don't forget to shut your physical ports when doing PortChannels.

At the end of the day, it's not a big overall impact one way or the
other.
Just pick an approach you're comfortable with and stick with it
always...

Well I think if the port is 'unused' in it's purest sense then it's
probably
shutdown anyway to be fair.

Main thing is of course to follow requirements but also to apply common
sense
as well as best practice. If making sure an interface is shut down helps
you
out then I would say do it. Just makes sure you don't break something
you
need!

  I think you will be wasting your time doing this. On the contrary ,
you
might have to unshut some ports to get your topology working. My advice
is
not
to spend time doing tasks that are not required in the exam because you
will
need every minute of it. No marks for perfection!!!
