Hello all.
I have a question regarding how the actual CCIE Lab
exam is evaluated.
I understand that it uses an aplication or software
that looks for the "expected" outcome or solution and
when is not clear, a person checks the answer and
determines if it's right or wrong.
I took the two versions of the Cisco Assesment Labs of
R&S and was surprised with the results.
This because even when the final solution was what
they asked for, the questions were incorrect according
to their "AutoVerify" grading engine.
I have two examples:
1-On BGP, I had 3 routers and one of them had to be a
route-reflector, the other two its clients. I set a
peer group, configured it correctly and added the two
other routers under it. The questions did not prohibit
the use of peer groups but still, the question was
marked incorrect. When I checked their answer, they
just did not use a peer group but the rest of the
config and the expected outcome was identical.
2-On IPV6, they asked to set a RIP process called
RIPv6. I configured a process called "RIPV6" (note
that the "v" on my process was Upper Case), and the
question was marked incorrect just because of that.
The results that I got were exactly what they asked
for.
So, I am kind of worried that the real CCIE LAB exam
uses the same grading method or something similar that
even checks for Upper/Lower case and marks a question
wrong if there is the minimum difference.
Has anybody taken the Cisco CCIE Lab Assesments tests?
What do you guys think about it? Is it the real deal?
Thanks
