Part II Review
Keep track of your part review progress with the checklist in Table P2-1. Details about each task follow the table.
Repeat All DIKTA Questions
For this task, answer the “Do I Know This Already?” questions again for the chapters in this part of the book using the PCPT software. See the section “How to View Only DIKTA Questions by Chapter or Part” in the Introduction to this book to learn how to make the PCPT software show you DIKTA questions for this part only.
Answer Part Review Questions
For this task, answer the Part Review questions for this part of the book using the PCPT software. See the section “How to View Part Review Questions” in the Introduction to this book to learn how to make the PCPT software show you DIKTA questions for this part only.
Review Key Topics
Review all Key Topics in all chapters in this part, either by browsing the chapters or by using the Key Topics application on the DVD or companion website.
Create OSPF and EIGRP Root Causes Mind Map
Chapter 11, “Troubleshooting IPv4 Routing Protocols,” focuses on how to troubleshoot problems with both Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), specifically related to interfaces and to neighbor relationships. For this mind map, work through all the items you can think of that can fail and cause a problem that prevents a routing protocol from working in IPv4 internetworks, like those discussed in this part of the book. In other words, think about the root causes. Then organize those into a mind map.
To organize the mind map, start by just listing whatever comes to mind. Then, once you see several root causes that are related, group those root causes by whatever category comes to mind. There is no right or wrong organization to the root causes.
Create OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP Commands Mind Map
Part II also discussed OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP configuration and verification. Create a command mind map, like in many other part reviews. The first level of organization should be for OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, then for configuration versus verification. Inside the verification area, further organize the commands similar to the organization in Chapter 10, “Implementing EIGRP for IPv4,” with commands related to interfaces, neighbors, topology, and routes.
Appendix E, “Mind Map Solutions,” lists sample mind map answers. If you do choose to use mind map software, rather than paper, you might want to remember where you stored your mind map files. Table P2-2 lists the mind maps for this part review and a place to record those filenames.
Do Labs
Depending on your chosen lab tool, here are some suggestions for what to do in lab:
Pearson Network Simulator: If you use the full Pearson CCNA simulator, there are many labs for the routing protocol topics in particular. Note that labs on eBGP will require the Simulator for the CCNA 200-125 exam, while the Simulator for the earlier CCNA 200-200-120 exam has many labs on OSPF and EIGRP.
Config Labs: In your idle moments, review and repeat any of the Config Labs for this book part in the author’s blog; launch from http://blog.certskills.com/ccna and navigate to Hands-On > Config Lab.
