Hello All,
It’s been a while since i posted about my study , partly because i’ve been held up doing a lot of miscellaneous jobs. Work ( Coding in ADA ) is really hectic these days and i’m unable to allocate the amount of the time that i would like to allocate to studies and labbing. However i have been studying and labbing whenever i can and here’s a list of things that i’ve done / things i need to do.
DONE
- INE Vol 2 – Lab 1
- INE Vol 2 – Lab 2
- INE Vol 2 – Lab 3
- INE Vol 2 – Lab 10
- IPX Vol 2 – Lab 11
- IPX Vol 2 – Lab 12 ( In progress )
Although, i have done all of these labs, i’m not sure i’ll be able to nail them again because i havent revised the topics that i had difficulties configuring. I must do that sometime this week and ensure that i know the contents of these labs inside out.
Today, i was doing IPX Vol 2 – Lab 12. I always have difficulties with IPX (and some INE) labs. That’s because they’re really hard, elaborate and take a whole lotta time . For me, it’s nearly impossible finishing it in the 8 hour period. I had about 7 hours of quality lab time today, out of which , i spent an hour re-drawing the diagram and going through the configuration items at the beginning. In the remaining time i could configure 5/8 sections. I have saved the configs and will continue the next time i have a rack-rental. I was a little worried this morning regarding my speed. I thought i was the only one with the slow speed and i was trying to analyze if there was something i was doing/missing, which was causing the slow speed.
But then, later today , i had the good fortune to talk to Kingsley and Toyos about the IPX labs and i found out that both of them were taking a little more time than the allotted 8 hours to finish the lab. This put my mind to ease, because i knew everyone was finding these labs hard and it was not only me.
I hope to get some office work done tomorrow and also study some stuff about NAC , practice some ACS configurations. I also hope to do the first lab in “Yusuf’s workbook” the day-after-tomorrow. Let’s see how that goes. Very excited! 
See you tomorrow!
Cheers and Good night!
