Using TFTP and Notepad for CCIE Lab [7:27793]
I read about a lot of people using a text editor and tftp to create and manipulate their configurations to save time on the CCIE Lab exam. I understand the benefits of using this technique, but sometimes it seems as if it takes quite a while for me to set up the required routing to reach all of my routers via tftp. My real question concerns the use of a terminal server in this situation. I do not have a terminal server, but my understanding is that you telnet to the terminal server, which in turn has reverse telnet connections to each routers console port. If I was connected to the terminal server via a PC that had tftp server software installed, is there an easy way to use the reverse telnet connection to each router for the tftp file transfer? If not, would I have to have a tftp server connected to one router's Ethernet, and then set up routing to that ethernet's subnet on each router? I am trying to invision how this technique would save time in the lab if a tftp server is not readily available on a subnet common to all devices in the rack. I know a router can be configured as a tftp server, but I believe that it can only answer requests and can not be copied to. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I sit the lab on Feb 1 and I would like to develop some solid time-saving techniques. Thank you!

I guess you can do two things: 1) Build a text file with all the alias command you want to use and keep it handy; 2) Use Notepad (or vi ;-) on your PC to build all the configuration needed for the router. When you are connected to the router (with a terminal emulation program, eg. Hyperterminal), just copy & paste your command from Notepad to the router prompt. You can do the same with the alias commands. No tftp or any configuration is needed to do this. my .2 cents ;-) Maurizio -Original Message- From: Wilson, Christian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 November 2001 13:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using TFTP and Notepad for CCIE Lab [7:27793] I read about a lot of people using a text editor and tftp to create and manipulate their configurations to save time on the CCIE Lab exam.

I would dump the tftp server worries and just use a text editor you are comfortable with.
