Alef, When I was working on my CCIE R&S, I've done 3 or more vendors in one year... I prefer not to say the name of them, but I can tell you something: All vendors had their mistakes, EVEN Cisco 360 workbooks I found wrong stuff, nothing is perfect, get used to fix them and work your way up, specially initial configs were always a nightmare for me, but somehow I managed to do and also found it FUN!!
During my lab attempt, some pre-config was not created and I could easily set it up matching the diagram / live topology because Ive spent one year fixing stuff on vendors workbooks, it was easy for me, no hassle! 2011/3/3 Dave Blank <[email protected]> > >example 2 : Lab 1 detailed solutions page 25 > >the frame-relay interface-dlci command does not work as expected, you get > the error message it is already assigned. again, not >according to the > response given in the detailed solutions guide.
