I wonder how a simulation question is graded? For example, if a question for a CCNA level exam states, that you must configure an ethernet interface, how is the answer graded. What if you do configure the interface properly, ie. ip address 172.5.5.1 255.255.255.0 but you forget to enter the no shutdown command after that? Does the system give you 50% (since you got half of it right), 0% (since you did not enter the no shutdown command), or 100% (since you entered the interface addressing correctly).
Also, What happens if you realise after you've configured the interface and got out of configuration mode, that you forgot to do a no shutdown ... If you go back into interface configuration and enter the no shutdown, is the answer than deemed correct, or do you get maybe 75% for the question since you took way to many steps to do this. If I could illustrate:- Optimised Configuration steps Conf t Int e0 Ip address 172.5.5.1 255.255.255.0 No shutdown Exit wr Sh int Not-so optimised configuration steps Conf t Int e0 Ip address 172.5.5.1 255.255.255.0 Exit Sh int Conf t Int e0 No shutdown Exit wr Sh int Does anybody know how Cisco grades the questions? Is it the Cisco way or no way? :) Thanks Manish -----Original Message----- From: Kaminski, Shawn G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 August 2002 05:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: simulations exam [7:52172] As far as I know, certain commands can be used to test your configurations. For example, you always want to do a "no shut" after configuring an interface. Then you can check the configuration with a "show interface" command and you should see an up/up status if your configuration is correct. Shawn K.
