Hi Ben,
for those like first one, there should be something in the task wording
which tells you what solution to pick. When approaching a proctor,
describe him or her your solutions and ask if there are any hints in the
wordings pointing to one of them.
For the second type, this stuff you would have to know I reckon. The
easiest way is to have both syslog server and trap monitor awailable
during your preps so that you see effects of those commands.
There is absolutely no time in the lab to figure out things from
scratch. Those are easy points and you should be able to grab them just
based on your good preps.
Cheers,
A.

Hi All
I was wondering if anyone had a particular strategy for answering
questions where it seems there could be more than one way to answer
the question or one is not sure if the answer is option a or b but is
sure it is one of them.
For example, let's say a question asks to block a certain type of
traffic from a specific host (A) connected to a switch before reaching
another host (B) connected to the same switch. The question does not
set any restrictions on any features you cannot use just that this
traffic from host A should not reach host B. Now this is an
intentionally simple example and in this case one could use an inbound
ACL on the port connected to host A or a VLAN filter to block the
traffic. Assuming there is nothing that states either option can't be
used and both options meet the requirements would it be best to pick
just one or actually configure both to be safe?
Another slightly different example. Lets say the question asks to log
every 3rd unsuccessful login attempt to the console but you are not
sure which of the two following commands will do that:
login on-failure log every 3
login on-failure trap every 3
Assuming from reading the documentation you are still not sure which
one is the right one though obviously in this case only one is right -
would it be best to pick one or actually just configure both?
I suppose I am asking what peoples thoughts are about the marking
strategy of the exam. Does anyone think that assuming one answers a
question correctly that additional configuration that does not break
the solution but obviously does nothing to answer the question will
cause one to lose marks as in entering the two "login" commands above
to achieve just one goal? Would configuring multiple solutions to a
questions to cover bases be a good strategy as in configuring both the
ACL and VLAN map as in the first example?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Ben
