Hello Viktor, I agree 100% that speed is one of the big elements in the LAB. As long you know what you are doing. No point in speeding up wrong answers :D
I have slighlty another approach regardint the dynamic interfaces. I used your method first but then I decided it was best to create the first one in GUI, then do show running-config on the same one. Copy the output from the same one to notepad and paste to others. I did some excersices with many VLANs with different subnet masks + 2x DHCP servers and after I did it 5 times I got from 27 minutes (10 dynamic interfaces, different masks, different ports, different primary and secondary dhcp servers on each interface) to less than 10. I could use those 17 mins in the exam :D To add to usefull CLI commands is the NTP configuration. In GUI you define NTP one one page and the delta timezone in another page. In CLI you just do: config time ntp server 1 10.10.10.10 , and config time -6 0 (for the delta) copy and past those to other WLC's Yes totally, use WCS if I have bunch of WLANS to configure on many controllers (2 is enough to justify using WCS for it) Everything goes to managment so we have to be carefull to go to each WLC and rectify it. Another interesting thing to deploy with WCS is the Mobility domain and group configuration. Even though you don´t have templates, browsing through each WLC configuration from WCS and join other WLC's to the mobility group and vice versa seems to me a faster way of doing it. No copy and pasting macs, no errors in spaces in mobility domain names e.t.c. Because the WCS lists your WLC's and you can select many and join them in one go. This method is also totally free of errors! I am trying at the same time to add more and more WLC CLI commands to my arsenal, for example I use these a lot: show interface summary show ap summary show cdp neighbours and debugs: debug lwapp events enable debug lwapp errors enable debug client <mac> the last one actually is a macro of many client related debugs so It can quickly help to pinpoint client issues. The first to are of course used to see if the WLC is receiving AP join attempts. If totally nothing shows It usually tells me that there is Network, DHCP or DNS issue elsewhere. Sorry , this post got out of hand :D regards. Kristjan Today's Topics: 1. [Q]: methods to speed up your lab (Victor Platov (viplatov)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 16 May 2011 19:31:19 +0200 From: "Victor Platov (viplatov)" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Wireless] [Q]: methods to speed up your lab Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi team, Which kinds of approaches do you use or did you used to increase the speed of doing lab activities? I think it's crucial cause for example when I was taking my lab I was run out of time all two times. As far as I know there are at least two techniques: 1. If you need to create several dynamic interfaces on several WLCs you'd better use CLI, notepad and copy/paste method. 2. In case you need several similar WLANs to be created on several WLCs it's reasonable to use WCS templates What else?
