I'm with Wouter on this one.

After saving them to .txt files, I give the initial configs a quick
eye-ball for anything really obvious, but I don't spend more than a
few minutes doing this. As I wade through the workbook material, the
misconfigurations are easy to spot -- wrong IP address here (compare
against the diagram), wrong netmask there, wrong F/R LMI type,
whatever. It's basic troubleshooting.

It's too hard to completely digest the initial configs in the context
of the whole lab. Some "wrong" config won't become obvious until
you've applied solutions for two seemingly independent tasks, for
example.

cheers,
Dale
