Lab debug trips

Just thought I'd share a couple of my tricks for the lab, to quickly grab
your IPs for your TCL scripts, do a 'show ip int br | exc una' and then
press and hold the alt function to highlight the IPs and then past into
notepad.

I also tend to get confused on what IP's belong to which router, so while
you build your TCL script in notepad, I also build up a host table to be put
on all the routers. It takes < 5 minutes to do, and will help with any
traffic flow questions you have

I.E.
ip host R1 150.1.1.1 155.1.0.1 155.1.13.1 155.1.146.1
ip host R2 150.1.2.2 155.1.0.2 155.12.2 204.12.192.2
etc..

I then place a complete copy on all devices, when I do a traceroute, it will
show you the name of the router the traffic is flowing through.........

Rack1R1#trace 150.1.2.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to R2 (150.1.2.2)
