I guess that leads me to ask why the "do" command results in any additional load versus doing the same command from exec mode. I always assumed "do" just signaled the CLI parser to run the command as if it was in exec-mode, but the suggestion that it might generate any extra load at all is making me wonder if it doesn't do something silly like spawn another exec session, run the command and pipe the results back to the config mode session that "do" was run from.
Marko, do you know how the command actually works? Irrelevant to the lab exam, I'm sure, but you've piqued my interest.

Virtual-exec has almost the lowest priority on the router anyway, so the impact should be effectively none. -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 (SP R&S) Senior CCIE Instructor - IPexpert _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com Are you a CCNP or CCIE and looking for a job?
