The blog example (as I recall) was create a standards-based trunk. Believe it or not, that is not nearly as specific and it could be. :-) For one thing, it makes no mention of DTP.
The exam authors are going to try and phrase everything to push you into a method of configuration that they can easily grade. And yes, they will put their own eyeballs on your configuration in cases where there are multiple correct solutions. The great news is...they are trying to minimize those instances.

What if it was, for example, implement traffic-shaping without any special requirements or restrictions? You would have the option of using "traffic-shape group" under the interface or configuring MQC. Or policing where you could go with "rate-limit" or MQC. In each case, the commands that would be used to verify the existence of shaping or policy are completely different. Can we be confident that they'll figure out how we went about configuring the technology or should we just guess that they'd probably be looking for MQC (safe guess in this case, but it's the 1st example that popped into my head.) I bring this up because I did come across a particular task where they only thing I could think to do seemed rather drastic ... I wound up spending too much time trying to think of another way around. I'm not sure if I was over-thinking the issue or just missing something.

Is it fair to say that if you meet the objectives without violating any rules or limitations than you are OK? What if you think of a way to solve a problem that Cisco had not considered? Will they catch that in the grading script? As we all know, there are often several ways to skin a cat and I wonder whether we can be confident that they thought of all the possibilities or should we be trying to deduce the manor in which they expect us to solve a problem? _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com<http://www.ipexpert.com> Are you a CCNP or CCIE and looking for a job?
