Part VI Review
Keep track of your part review progress with the checklist in Table P6-1. 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.
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 Troubleshooting Root Causes Mind Map
The chapters in this part of the book touch on different root causes for different kinds of problems. Chapter 22 focuses on how to troubleshoot IPv6 routing (forwarding) problems, while Chapters 23 and 24 focus on the root causes that prevent OSPFv3 and EIGRP, respectively, from exchanging routing information. Chapter 25 also discusses troubleshooting, but more from the perspective that IPv6 ACLs can be the root cause of IPv6 routing and routing protocol issues.
For this first mind map, try to collect all root causes of problems in an IPv6 network and organize those into a mind map. As usual, use short reminders, rather than long descriptions, with just enough information for you to remember the meaning. Also, organize the concepts in a way that makes sense to you. And avoid looking at the chapters when first building these; as usual, the point is to help you organize the ideas in your own head, rather than to read lists from the book again.
Create Commands Mind Map
This part also discussed OSPF for IPv6, EIGRP for IPv6, and IPv6 ACL configuration and verification. It also reviewed a wide variety of IPv6 configuration commands in Chapter 22. Create a command mind map, like in many other part reviews. The first level of organization should be for OSPF for IPv6, EIGRP for IPv6, and IPv6 ACLs. For the rest of the IPv6 commands (from Chapter 22), organize them to your own liking. Inside each of those categories, break the organization into configuration versus verification commands.
DVD 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 P6-2 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. Work through the basic skill builder labs to the point where doing the labs is automatic, and then move on to the configuration scenario and troubleshooting scenario labs. (See the Introduction for some details about how to find which labs are about topics in this part of the book.)
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.
Other: If using other lab tools, here are a few suggestions: When building ACL labs, you can test with Telnet (port 23), SSH (port 22), ping (ICMP), and traceroute (UDP) traffic as generated from an extra router. So, do not just configure the ACL; make an ACL that can match these types of traffic, denying some and permitting others, and then test.
