Oh, duh moments
What are some more light hearted but frustrating moments you had while studying?
One that came recently was as follows. I’m doing JITL and the routing labs. For some unknown reason I couldn’t get it to work despite following everything. Router interfaces were correct. Static routes were added to the routers. Computers were set. Still nothing. I then changed the routing to include default routes. Still nothing. I think I eventually gave up and watched the lab. It all made sense as it was what I’d done. I put it down to a fluke and moved on.
Now come the subnetting labs. Subnets were correct, I double checked that. All the routes and interfaces too, yet nothing. I checked simulation mode and there was some traffic but the pings just wouldn’t ping.
I hadn’t set the default gateways on the PCs. The lab said to set the router interface to the default gateway, but didn’t spell this out.
Lol. Could be worse honestly but it had me fooled for quite a few hours. I’m wondering if you have similar stories and can share them.
