these are part of the troubleshooting skills that they are looking for. they will put little things in that will stop other things working. you need to check everything in the lab as it is more than possible that the 2 or 3 devices you are working on are not the problem but one of hte other devices that you wouldn't normally think of looking at. as for the initial config you have the first 30 mins to check all device access and config and report anything to the proctor so he/she can fix it. if it is a big problem for them to fix they will add the time to the end of the lab.

Hello, I am asking this because in my previous attempt, there were two strange incidents. 1- One of the routers was not configured with the default password and I was not able to log in, so I went to the proctor and he fixed the issue. According to the proctor, It never happened before and my incident was the first one. I don't remember what he told me exactly, but I think he mentioned something was wrong with the initial configuration. 2- ACS server was not working as it should be and I had 4 questions that required AAA. The funny thing is AAA was not working on 3 devices (a router, asa, and a switch) and I tried both Radius and Tacacs. I was able to ping the ACS server from these devices and telnet to port 49. There was nothing to block communication between the ACS server and the switch becuase they were on the same vlan. I was getting this message " No Authorative Response ..." when I did "test aaa group radius ...." and all the 3 devices were added as clients in the ACS server. I went to the proctor and told him there is a problem with the ACS server and he told me "you have to figure out the solution". Do you think the ACS was also not configured properly (like incident 1)? or was I doing something wrong? Should I contact Cisco for a refund? Did you guys face anything like this before?
