If this is a study group for ccie lab I don't see the reason to put
undocumented
commands on this list. You will not be required to use these commands in the
lab. And if you use them in the lab you could even cause a lot of problems.
Don't cause yourself more headaches than needed.

   The undocumented commands are not useless, but I would avoid using them
in the lab. All the commands required for the lab should be on the cd.
Now finding the commands or the right syntax on the cd
can be a challenge sometimes.
