R&S Lab has 2 sections; 1 2 hour troubleshooting section and a 6 hour configuration section. The troubleshooting is done completely on a virtual set of equipment called IOU that is somewhat like Dynamips (But much better). 2. You have to finish the troubleshooting before moving onto configuration. They are two completely separate labs. Yes you have access to the product documentation the entire time. You have about 10 trouble tickets currently which is about 12 minutes per trouble ticket. Not a lot of time to be looking things up though. 3. I would encourage to keep prepping like you are and make an attempt in the current blueprint. I expect to see NAC framework go away with an upgrade to ACS 5.0. Software will probably be upgraded to 8.3 or 8.4 and 15.0 on the routers. So you will have to account for the changes in each software version. I don't know that they will change the platforms but we will see of course. We still have at least a year before I think the new blueprint will take effect even if they announce it in the next three months as it will be six months after they announce it.

With all the horror stories going around about solid candidates failing the lab because of OEQs, I'm pondering whether I want to wait until the next version of the exam is released. They say OEQs are going away and a troubleshooting section will be added. My questions is: 1. What is involved in the "troubleshooting" section? R&S lab is using it right now 2. Is it a "mini" lab that you have to pass before you start the actual lab? Is troubleshooting built into the lab? Do we have access to DOCCD when doing the troubleshooting sections. 3. A lot of new information was added to the v3 lab. Can we expect a lot of new information for the V4 lab? Since I've prepared for the V3 lab, should I just try the V3 lab before it goes away, or should I just wait? Thanks in advance Tyson,
