Thanks, Jamie.
Must the preliminary configs you have put on the devices be removed later? Will it affect the grading?

I am one of those that are strong advocates for redrawing the diagram, but IT MUST be in your practice routine. It does two things: A. Allows you to become intimate with the topology B. Allows you to have one place to document your VPN terminations, your firewall locations, etc. 2. Definitely have a checklist (either in Notepad or by hand), but make sure that you have checked your work before marking it off. 3. Read the entire lab. I actually read the lab in its entirety, but that is up to you. Just make sure you have an idea of the high level topics and make note of later tasks that might impact any earlier tasks. 4. I used premilinary configs and checks that I put on all routers and switches as follows: A. Preliminary config ( enable ip cef, logging synch, no ip domain-lookup, etc.) conf t ! no ip domain-lookup ip cef ! ip tcp synwait 5 ip inspect log drop ! logging buffered ! line con 0 logging synch ! end wr B. Preliminary checks (allows to see were troubleshooting landmines might be) sh run | i access-list sh run | i access-group sh run | i filter sh run | i vlan access sh run | i inspection sh run | i class-map sh run | i policy-map sh run | i service-policy 5. Ask the proctor questions if you are unclear. Make sure that the questions are close-ended and they show the proctor you know your stuff. 6. Recheck your work when you are done to make sure you didn't miss something. One last note - you will do under pressure what is inate, so make sure that whatever you do in practice becomes ingrained, so that it is second nature when you are up to your waist in pressure. And, last but not least, over-prepare and relax!

It would be great, if you can give it in an order from start of the lab to end of the lab. With regards Kings
