    Gotta love switching. Be sure to keep revisiting it as you prepare for the lab. You want to be clearing the switching part of the exam properly inside an hour so you need regular practice to be able to do that.

    Forgot to update last night :)

    had a re run over HSRL, VRRP, GLBP, this time the v4 book was on routers, then went onto NTP, labbed and debugged.
    Tonight SNMP and all the other small stuff they have crammed into chapter 5 of the v4 book.

    Hi Turgon,

    I have no sat the written yet.
    i will have a look at the stuff you have mentioned.

    Ok

    Tonight i did not get as much done as i hoped, why you may ask ;)

    I went through SNMP, then on to Syslog. All good labbing and a bit of debugging.

    Next i started on the WCCP protocol, reading through it i thought it would be nice to test it.
    Then it pops into my head i bought an old 507 content engine about a year and a half ago for $20, 10 mins later i have it fired up and looking for any documentation online.
    I had to bypass the password, anyways Google to the rescue, we are in.
    The next 2 hours are testing version 1 and 2 of WCCP.

    Had a great time, will come back later to spend more time on it, but got a good view of the overall process.

    cya tomorow
