There's a difference between "checking" and "creating extra work"! be
careful not to go too far down. Granted, Dale's version is extra
conservative! However, it's also extra work. You should put some value on
your experiences to date!
I don't really break out the invididual tasks, but 10-15 sounds right for
troubleshooting. All of your pre-config tasks (reading, troubleshooting,
diagramming, notes, l2 discovery, all that crap) should fall somewhere in
the 30-45 minutes range.

Hello Narbik / Anthony,
Does that mean we can proceed with configuration without looking at
troubleshooting section? and lab task configs will eventually lead us to
where the fault is?
I was going through the posts by Scott Morris in INE blog, about the initial
troubleshooting and convinced myself that I would spent about 10 - 15mts
initially to verify & detect obvious faults earlier in the lab.
