RE: Took the new switching this weekend [7:70225]
The help function worked!? Cool! (I assume you mean you could type a question mark and see possibilities?) Way to go Cisco. That's a good change, considering the fact that "real network engineers" depend on the question mark. :-) Priscilla Weaselboy wrote: > > I took the new switching beta this weekend (I'll find out if I > passed > sometime in the future).

I didn't notice grayed out options, but the help function definitely worked; I needed it to remember how to do one particular task...

RE: Took the new switching this weekend [7:70225]
When I took the CCNP Remote access exam last month I was surprised to see the '?' work in the simulator questions. It actually went even farther, it grayed out the commands that don't apply to the sim, and bolded the 4 or 5 that were possible answers. Almost made it TOO easy at that point.
