Jason that is a very important strategy. Many questions that are asked in the workbook allow students the flexibility of finding methods to solutions. In the labs one lab may provide the solution in a particular method that is different than what you first do. In another lab the solution may be the same method you use. And yet in another section you could also do it either way but restrictions layed out somewhere else in the Lab will limit you to which method to use. That is why we try to teach the plethera of methods of completing tasks.
You may not need to know the finite details of particular questions that are obviously configuration based. But you need to ask yourself "what am I being asked to accomplish here, am I being asked to provide results to this section or are they looking for a particular way of doing this?" Understanding that is, in my opinion, what will help make you a CCIE. Regards, Tyson Scott - CCIE #13513 R&S and Security Technical Instructor - IPexpert, Inc.
