Thanks a lot Jason. I trust this will help us. I am returning for my second attempt in November and I intend to pass it this time.

Probable Spam] Re: [OSL | CCIE_Wireless] Lab strategy thoughts? In general, here are my recommendations: 1) Quickly review the test doc and diagram while reading 2) Configure the switched network/routing/wired QoS/multicast section, since everything is dependent on that working properly. 3) Configure autonomous APs section. You should finish these (#1-3) in about 3 hours. In San Jose, that gets you to lunch. Be sure to save configs regularly! Then, I rebooted before going to lunch. 4) Do a minimal config of the WLCs. Basically, items that are individually applicable to a controller (interfaces), items that are easy to copy and paste (mobility and rf group names), and anything that would require the WLCs to be rebooted (adding certs, SNMPv3, etc.) Notepad is your friend, with copy and paste. Be careful to change things as necessary for each WLC. 5) Import the WLCs into WCS. Then configure WLCs using templates, but don't use WLC Config Groups - they take too much time for the test. This would also include configuring the video and voice section. 6) Finish configuring WCS and add the MSE. 7) Configure clients for connectivity. 8) You should have 1-2 hours left at this point to validate the configurations. Now, there should be some general validation going on throughout (can you ping??) This is doing full validations. This was a successful process for me. One key is to figure out how to do each part of the process the fastest for you. I listed what worked for me. Another is to have that time at the end. You will misread and fat finger things. You need time to review what you've configured. Hope this helps.

I have a few thoughts as to order of operations and config methods. But I wanted to see what the group thought and what has worked well for them. In terms of an order of operations, what have you found to be useful? Obviously, to start things off you will want to read through the lab, write out your own diagrams and any other initial notes to help organize the information in a meaningful way. I'm more looking to see which sections/technologies should be done first and which can wait until later. When it comes to picking your sections/tasks to work on, what has been your order of operations? Another area that I wonder about is what is the most efficient way to make your configurations. On the WCS and autonomous APs, we have both CLI and GUIs. We also have the WCS that can be used to configure WLCs and their associated APs. What have you found to be the most efficient method to make your configurations?
