This is an interesting question.

One way to look at it is to consider things from the Lab core topics
perspective. It should be fairly obvious to those who have looked through
Caslow, bootcamp labs, and other study sources, what most of the core topics
are.

Another way to look at it is to consider what it is Cisco is trying to do
with the Lab and its contents. For example, if Cisco wants to test a
candidate's understanding of frame relay configurations and the implications
thereof, how would Cisco do it? If Cisco wanted to test a candidate's
understanding of OSPF, how would Cisco do so? If Cisco wanted to test a
candidate's understanding of classful routing protocols versus classless
routing protocols, how would Cisco do so? And so on down the line.

>From my own perspective, in answer to the question "what study source is
most like the real lab?" the proper answer is "all of them" or some similar
smart ass remark. In answer to the question "is such and such on the real
lab?" the answer is "maybe, maybe not" because one cannot predict certain
specifics.

The big obvious no no is discussing specifics of the particular scenario
one saw when in the test. So it would be NDA if I were to reproduce to
topology I saw. Or if I were to disclose what routing protocols I saw and
what redistribution was required. What is not so obvious is whether or not
comparing what one saw in the Lab to certain specific study materials is
really NDA. As for me, I would rather not take the chance.

I have some questions on the NDA maybe someone here could answer, or if
anyone from the CCIE programs staff is here they could jump in on this. I
read the NDA in the lab and must admit that I was unsure what was meant by
some of the legal wording and I am wondering if someone could clarify what
exactly is NOT allowed. I value my CCIE and do not ever want to get in
danger of coming anywhere close to losing it.
