In answer to your question, I myself have never had time to use the CD in the Lab, but that's because of the many other dumb mistakes I made that cut me short.
IMHO, there is adequate time to complete all required tasks in the Lab if: 1) you don't have to spend any time pondering configuration choices 2) you don't do dumb things like misread requirements and place things into the wrong vlans or subnets 3) you don't do dumb things like misconfigure or misplace access lists so that you end up filtering or not filtering the wrong things 4) etc etc etc Many people have stated here and elsewhere that they have had all their layer two and layer three done before lunch, and have had plenty of time to work on the real off the wall stuff in the afternoon. Many have said that they have consulted the CD for particular problems, and that knowing where on the CD to find things is of great importance. the CD search engine is the pits. You have to be able to quickly drill through the various menus to get to where you need to be. some things are in the IOS command and configuration guides. Some things are found under the various product line documentation. No you will not have time to use the CD as a crutch, as a substitute for internalizing. Yes, given that you know the basics and don't make too many mistakes, you will have time to look up an occasional thing here or there. HTH Chuck ""Michael L.
