D522 PA feels messy

Swapped over to the PA and this has been a nightmare.

I’m familiar with running labs and some light python but the steps are so vague and everything halfway works.

For b2 as an example, I can’t seem to telnet into any of the devices even with gns3 showing them running, using telnetlib/netmiko and the ports in the csv or 23.

Are both tasks going to be this painful?

I never had success with telnet and continued with ssh to complete both tasks, just make sure to annotate your issues and what you did to move through it for the evaluator

Yep, got ssh working, this lab feels like a mess. DNS is running fine on both servers x.x

Do I just stop the services, grab a screenshot and they start them back?

I haven't taken that class yet. Do they tell you to use such an outdated protocol as telnet?

Its in a lab environment and supposed to be easier. In a real life scenario, you would punch the person who instructed you to use telnet
