There aren't best practices of that sort for the lab, other than things that just make your own life easier.... passive-int default is good. Being specific for any redistribution is good to control what things come back to bite you in the ass later in the day. :) named ACLs are good just for your own recollection. But most things that are helpful are just to you, not to the proctor. They have rules (known as steps/tasks in the lab). Double check whatever you're going to do and read those rules carefully. Ask lots of questions. LOTS of questions. make sure there's no grey area. Otherwise, everything is defined for you and shouldn't be an issue. Most people (just plain old human nature) only read about half of what they see and process/retain less than that. So skipping over important things like "not" or "only" or "none" is a fairly common occurance. So while your lab may indeed work perfectly fine, it had nothing to do with what was being asked.

_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Luis Rino Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 8:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] (no subject) Hi all, I hear often than on practical exams " we have to do the configurations as they want" meaning that maybe we may do the labs correctly but somehow not in complaince with some "rules" and we loose points. my question is: Has anyone some best practices, guidelwnes or some strategies to do on the ccie lab exam. Like for instance, fix the duplex and speed on the ports instead of leaving with auto settings, not do "passive interface default" whatever. So, is this a false issue or is there even some guidelines that the correction of the exam takes care ? If this is a real issue can those "rules" be indicated here ? Kind Regards.
