Thanks Jason, good tips indeed. I've started a list of things to do at the very beginning of the lab, L2 map is now at the top.

L3 is helpful, but the L2 stuff will make your head swim. Some people try to use the colored pens/pencils to show the VLANs, but VLAN numbers were easier for me. This is also the sort of thing that I would be sure to do during your studying. In particular, working through multiprotocol labs (such as IPexpert) is helpful to train in the process of documenting during the exam. I'm sure that you experienced that when preparing for the R/S. Doing configurations on a single switch and WLC at home is one thing. Doing it with multiple WLCs and switches is different; not because it is more difficult per se, but there is just more information to keep in your mind.

I remember when doing the R/S lab, I drew my own L2 and L3 maps. Would you recommend just creating a L2 map at the very beginning and then writing on trunk links every time a new VLAN needs to be added?

Without those, there was just too much information to ensure that I had ports correct.

Does anyone have a good strategy for ensuring that only the necessary VLAN's are allowed on every port? It's a task that sounds simple at first, but as VLAN's get added as the lab goes along, it would be easy to add one too many. Thoughts on ensuring only the exact VLANs you need are allowed?
