It's hard to remember them all :) I try to keep track of them by writing
them down. Sometimes the mistakes are so task-specific thought it might not
really help you on another lab. I seem to always miss a vlan, but I find
that during L2 connectivity test....it always costs me a few minutes
thinking...wtf is going on. I guess the key would be to know symptoms of
certain issues and troubleshoot them fast. Keith said it well, know the
task, read every word...learn how to verify things fast too. know the best
show commands to verify things.
