Read most of chapter 6, which is IP forwarding. It’s all review so far. I’m going to do some verification in the form of labbing some policy routing which is part of this section. I don’t use PBR often, so I won’t lie and say I’m sharp on it right now, but it’s pretty straightforward, so I won’t spend much time on it. Just enough to get back in the swing of things.

I’d say I’ll be done with this chapter in the next day or so, then it’s time to move onto EIGRP finally. I’ll probably flip between labbing EIGRP and doing some layer 2 labs I think. I haven’t done any layer 2 labs from the workbooks lately, just because I’ve been focusing a lot on my reading. I’d say so far I’m abiding by my strategy of roughly 80% reading and 20% labbing for the written exam, then going to about 85% labbing and 15% reading when it comes to the lab prep. I intend on reading every blog I can get my hands on once I start the lab prep, so I can stay sharp and play with new ideas.

I will post more once I get some rest and get to lab a little bit.
