the answer is simple and practical. What with the one day lab and the speed with which cheats get circulated, lab scenarios are revised much more often than they used to. Adding IS-IS allows for more permutations to add to the mix. Especially now that IGRP is no longer there. The proctors still need lots of ways to screw you with redistribution. IS-IS redfistribution gives them that in spades. ;-> > > > > ""Chibwe, Oliver J, NEO"" wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Yes it is live and well! if you look at the Cisco's blueprint under all > > the routing protocols yes it is tested if I were you I would get me an > > IS-IS book......from Amazon.
