I also need to do some reviews on the more esoteric details of the technologies plus an extra week to lab can’t hurt. lol yea I am a chump but call it healthy apprehension. My employer isn't going to pay for anything and these test arent cheap, plus I want to take the max amount of knowledge from every cert I get (these next 6 months are gonna be interesting...stay tuned....)

In the head office we had a decent Watchguard security device capable of supporting 1000+ tunnels. Only problem was, the work load of bringing up 250 tunnels simultaneously after rebooting the thing would give the Watchguard a pummeling, as a result it would take about 24 hours for all the tunnels to come up. Turning off PFS helped a bit. Additionally in their infinite wisdom they decided to get dynamic WAN IP addresses on the remote ends to save a few pounds - so the tunnels could only be brought up remotely. Eventually we replaced the Watchguard with a ZyXel box - cost about £1000. Fantastic device for the price, VPN were much more reliable.

Since my testing center is over 1 hour away (about 15 minutes from my job) it would be stupid of me to drive that far and find out it is closed. Hopefully the snow will hit after 1pm or it won't be that bad..... At any rate if everything goes ok in about 16 hours I should be a CCNA:S and moving on to S+. Hopefully I can bring back a win!!! Tonight I am going to do some final labing, review some notes, and transcender then go to bed. Wish me luck!!!!
