In defense of the lab...

On both of my CCIE lab attempts, I've heard people attack the format of =
the lab. They usually go like this:

"I think the whole thing is a crock! No network would ever be set up =
that way and you wouldn't have all those restrictions. If I had enough =
time and didn't have the restrictions I could get everything working."

Yes, it's true that anyone, with enough time and no restrictions, could =
get everything to work. However, this isn't called the Cisco Certified =
PROFESSIONAL Lab--it's an EXPERT lab. That means you can take a bunch of =
routers and make them do whatever is required, no matter how many =
restrictions are placed upon you or how ugly the situation gets.

Anyone can get routers to work, only experts can make them dance.
