The real lab is NOT about configuration comparison unless there is only one allowed way to accomplish something. Otherwise it's results.

Also, has anyone used the Assesment CCIE Lab from cisco.com? If so, any feedback? THX --- Roger RPF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Interesting topic, I would be interested how they grade.
