Re: How do you develop speed?

I found that I didn't look up much until I got to the section on IPv6
due to the fact I never work with it. I'm sure this will change as
time goes on and I work on harder labs.

Here are the things I did that helped me
- Made task sheet 1st thing
- Read through the entire lab packet
- Opened notepad and typed out all my aliases (I think I had too many)
- Opened the support portal

I realize I wasted/lost a time of configuring OSPF and frame-relay. I
broke one of my frame-relay requirements fixing a flapping OSPF
neighbor and didn't think about going back to check it. I also need to
learn to write tcl scripts. I wasted a lot of time verifying
connectivity.
