There are several "basic" things I like to write down at the first hint of
needing to think through a problem. If I have to do any serious subnetting, I
take the time to write out 8 bits in a row and label them /25, /26...; .128,
.192...; .127, .63.... It sounds lame, but after 5 hours of grinding you can
really drop the ball on an acl subnet mask.
The same thing applies to BGP route selection. Odom's CCIE written study
guide has a neat little snippet on remembering the order, and the result is
the list of initials - N WLLA OMNI. I write that list vertically on my
scratch paper, and as soon as I encounter a filtering or weighting problem I
consult the list. There may be three ways to do something and the task only
bans one, which is actually worse for you since now you have to judge the
consequences of the remaining two.
