Even with a great practical lab guide, students make predictable errors. Avoid these to save hours of frustration:
| Mistake | Solution |
| :--- | :--- |
| Forgetting no shutdown on interfaces | Always run show ip interface brief to check for "administratively down" |
| Using end instead of do in global config | In older IOS versions, use do show run to verify changes |
| VLANs not working (same switch) | Check if trunk ports have the native VLAN allowed; use switchport trunk allowed vlan add |
| OSPF neighbors stuck in EXSTART/EXCHANGE | Mismatched MTU or ip ospf mtu-ignore |
| NAT not translating | Verify show ip nat statistics – likely forgot to define inside/outside |
| Can't SSH to device | Missing login local on VTY lines or line password |
A good PDF lab guide includes a "Common Errors" section after each lab.
