Labbing...

Rented a rack session from INE's graded labs today.  All in all, it was a good experience.  I did have some times where the lab froze up, and I had to disconnect several times.  But, like I said, for the most part it operated as intended.  I spend the first part of my day getting used to INE's diagrams out of their Volume 1 WB.  Once I got the hang of things I started cranking through labs 1.1 - 1.21.  It was a good day, touching on native vlans, dtp, router-on-a-stick configs, vtp, pruning, etherchannels (L2/3), dot1q tunneling, and spanning tree.  So all layer 2 stuff basically, and I still have 29 sections to go...  I can easily see how CCIE study's can go well beyond the 1000 hour marks :)
