I took the lab. last dec and failed. It was more than VPN that caused our all
group to fail the exam. ATM and VPN were together (15 points total). One more
thing that the Cisco and the proctor told us is that there is no more partial
credit to an exercise. So, to get what seem the bare minimum was impossible thi
s
day (30 points). Some of the guys that took the lab. with me were all at their
second attempt at least. Some of the same people in this group had successfully
went to second day when they on their frist attempt. The proctor himself agree
d
that version (i can not release the vers. here) was one of the hardest one. For
me, I still do not understand what was the exercice all about. Any help will be
appreciated on VPN + ATM combination. The VPN scenario I got had nothing to do
with VPDN or IPsec. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Phillip
