Yes, you are correct in that there are icons for everything that launches
the terminal session. The topology is 'interactive' in that when you click
on a device it will launch the CLI. For GUI's, however, those are accessible
via the Test-PC (click on the test-pc and it will launch an RDP session).
IDM is on the desktop but I did not see ASDM. You can use ASDM, but will
have to download the image from the ASA and perform the necessary
configuration on the ASA for ASDM access. I did not use ASDM even once so
I'm not sure if they put any other roadblocks in the way for that. All other
GUI's (ISE, WSA) are accessible via browser on the test-pc. The response
time on the GUI's were quite good, had some minor issues late in the exam
but nothing really serious, the exam was built to be quite intuitive so you
won't really have to wonder how to get into this/that device. I didn't use
the doc-cd either, but there is an icon for that on the candidate-pc (your
physical pc).

Well sorry to hear that it went bad.. But there is always an another chance
and im sure u will clear it next time :) Have fun with what you learn and
nail it ! 

Would you be kind enough to clear a doubt of mine.. Well im sure there would
be icons for each and every device preconfigured for telnet session... so
were there icons for the GUI as well like ASDM, if so how was the response
time on them

Thanks :)

Wish you all the best !

Cris
