In this section you will find a bunch of short labs you should start with. It is the first phase of "getting intimate" with the routing technologies. I have provided solutions to the labs in this section (well... to most of them). If you decide to do these labs, analyse what you are doing and why you are doing things this way. Also try to break things and ask yourself questions (what if?). However, don't wait for somebody to provide you with the answers on a silver platter. No, amigo! You are here because you want to be a geek, remember? Try to find the answers out in the books (oh yeah, you should read a lot!) and with your best ally:
G O O G L E
If you get stuck, you can always ask questions but be smart while doing it. Don't just blurt out your question without doing a serious search first.
Later in your career, you will have no one but yourself to rely on. This is why you should learn one of the most important geek's habit from the beginning, and that is: how to solve the problems alone.
