   I think this info won't violate NDA. So here it goes.
   
   The materials in the lab are made so that they are conspicuous and
   practical. Meaning that the paper is not 8.5x11 it is larger and all
   handouts are not on white paper. The test is in a 3 ring binder and
   not just stabled together. You can't write on the test.
   
   My strategy was to diagram and place notations such that I can quickly
   access configs. Meaning, my diagram by the end of the first day had
   IP/masks, Ports, VLANs, Areas, dial strings, AS, routing protos...
   Day two: AT cable-ranges, AT protos, AT addresses, IPX networks, IPX
   protos...
   
   At the beginning I design my network on paper with most of the info
   but I also put down info as I went. Put down anything that you feel
   will help you not have to do show run all the time.

   I have another question for the collective :)
   
   
   
   I'm curious what people strategies are for diagramming and
   documenting. Given
   
   we're likely going to work from 8 1/2 * 11 paper in the lab
   (assumption) I would
   
   be interested to know how you guys/girls document the network.
   
   
   
   I assume we'll have IP/IPX/AT/DEC addressing, Routing protocols for
   
   the above, areas and what not. I'm currently trying to do 1 L3
   diagram and
   
   then an address matrix for each protocol. Do you have time to make
   
   L3 diagrams for each protocol with addresses and routing info on each?
   
   
   
   Thanks,
