One down...Two to go

Last night I took the hands-on portion of my networking final. I am pleased to announce that I made a 100 on it!! It actually wasn't very hard...lots of router configuration, but that's all pretty standard. The hardest part was troubleshooting.

The whole exam was broken down into sections and each section was worth 10, 20, or 30 points. After we had our entire network subnetted, and then configured and the teacher checked everything, he then got to "break" our network. I was the first one finished, and I had to leave the room to let him "break" my network. After a few minutes I came back and had to troubleshoot my router to see what he did. This was worth 10 points, so in the scheme of things was it a big deal if I got a 90 on the exam?? No, probably not, but since the online final is going to be very difficult, I need all the help I can get!

Needless to say, I figured out everything he had done to my router, and I fixed it pretty quickly. I have to say I think he was a bit disappointed that it didn't take me longer to figure out what he did.

I am glad to have that one out of the way...I have my next final tonight, and then I'm going to take the online portion on Friday afternoon. Wish me luck!
