For VLANs on the lab, filter based on what they specify.  The only exception
to this is if they do not specify what to filter for the WLCs.  If the APs
are on a different VLAN than the Management interface, but that VLAN is
allowed to the WLC, the APs will likely not join.

Start the configuration without filtering any VLANs (except as just noted.)
Verify that things work.  Then, limit your VLANs.  That is where drawing the
lab topology and marking VLANs in some way on the connections comes in very
handy.

Hi Dominic,

The wording of the questions in this lab is not as tricky as some of the
questions in the real lab or as in lab 5.

I'll be working on it this weekend (hopefully).

Well, for interswitch links you will not loose points to allow all VLANs
unless they specific tell you otherwise. But be aware that you might have a
VLAN you will need to exclude.
