Thanks all. This was my third attempt. In preparing for troubleshooting, I used labs I created based on several problems for each ticket. Rather than solving one problem tickets only, I would always add additional issues to be sure that I considered all possibilities when troubleshooting. Most of these I did in gns3 or on my switches at home. I also took different vendor labs and added to them. I worked on speed speed speed. Doing the same labs over and over to get my times lower and to get used to my steps and command outputs.
It also helps that I teach ccie written classes for route switch and voice. So that kept me moving. But like I said, Marko was very good in his classes and his trouble tickets were very fun and challenging. I think that the way we trick ourselves is thinking that we have to do a ticket just once and that's it. Practice, rinse, change, repeat. That is what builds speed and confidence. On tshoot, my approach was going after small tickets first. That builds momentum. The tickets with just one problem and the ping tickets generally go faster. You can start a continuous ping from one device and then go router by router in the path testing. You have to get at least one of three point tickets so I would target the one that relies more on pure routing. Once you tackle a few small tickets, you can hopefully see time savings that you can use on big tickets. I solved 5 tickets in the first 30 mins. That really helped me relax for the other ones. Last thing to be reminded of is that lack of full connectivity is not necessarily a deal breaker. I did every config task and could see all routes on all routers. But after finishing config section with a half hour to go, I decided to run pings tests. They were failing between a couple of devices. I couldn't find the problem even after reboots. After confirming all of my redistribution configuration, I decided to just step away. The results speak for themselves as I got my number. I think I nailed enough non related final tasks to get enough points. There was nothing on the lab I didn't understand so I knew I did my correct solutions. (at least I felt that lol) Thanks again for all the comments. I'm on to voice ccie track now. :) Regards, Raliegh Sent from my iPhone On Oct 31, 2012, at 8:06 AM, "Michel L. M. B.
