I concur with Henry D. Sometimes, the CCIE lab would ask you to do fairly "stupid" or unconventional things just so they'll know that you master that particular subject.
In the CCIE practice lab example you provided, the author was probably trying to test your ability to redistribute between OSPF and RIP (and probably solve some routing issues especially if it's RIPv1), and your ability to block the routes efficiently and with the least number of commands. When I took my lab, I keep muttering to myself "I can do this scenario much more efficiently than what it's asking me to do". But hey, it's their test questions and you have to comply to pass it. Can't argue with that fact. ;-) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=66116&t=66057 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
