How do you eat an elephant? One byte at a time ;-)
I might try breaking BGP down into Core and Non-Core. The core is your
peerings. Get lightening fast and rock solid with this.
Route-reflectors, confederations, peer groups, all of that pretty
manageable and critical stuff for later point acquisition. Perhaps at
this point in your studies, you are already all over these topics.
Once you are sure you are very good, accurate, and fast with that...I
would start working on the prefix introduction and manipulation stuff.
Books that really helped me in this arena were the famous Halabi,
Internet Routing Architectures and the Configuration Handbook by
Parkhurst.
While their might not be time to lab up every possible scenario at this
point - at least try and make sure you have perused as many of the
config options as possible and understand their function. That way when
you read your "non-core" BGP task a bell might go off.
It always sucks when you are in the lab and you read a task and think,
"wow - that sounds cool - I had NO IDEA you could do that!"
P.S. When that happens (and it probably will) - DO NOT PANIC. Save that
task until the end of the day (if non-core) and remember that you do not
have to pass with a 100%.

Hi all,
My lab date is in two weeks and my weak point is BGP.
Any suggestions on how to brush up my BGP knowledge in two weeks? :-0
Thanks,
Marc
