The key to the lab is the ability to work through problems on the fly. I
think anyone who has taken the exam would agree it is not overly complex and
given a couple of extra hours almost everyone would pass. TIME is the
killer.
If someone had prepped you on the technologies and scenario beforehand, you
could nail the thing in half of the allotted time.
The divulgence of any material on the exam gives a candidate an edge over
someone who doesn't have the same information. We are all supposed to walk
in blind and face the stress. This is the beauty of the exam. How much more
realistic could it be for a CCIE to walk into client site and begin work.
These are the reasons the test is so respected.
The posting of anything no matter how insignificant it may seem, does make a
difference.

Subject: Re: one day format
so if i tell somebody that during my lab
i had to configure ospf authentication
that would be a NDA violation?
Cisco says that anything in the 12.1 IOS is
fair game except for the topics that have been
excluded.
So why can't you tell someone that your lab
included a topic that is in on the DOC CD.
Configuring OSPF authentication can be pretty
complicated seen a lot of posts on it.
telling someone would not alleviate the
time and effort needed to correctly implement
this feature in a test environment or live production.
I beleive the NDA is supposed to be a way to keep
people from memorizing the exact test without
knowing or understanding the technologies.
To stop things like the MCSE transcender phenomenon.
Thus guaranteeing some degree of competency
in the individuals who attain certification.
I beleive it would be impossible to memorize
scenarios for the CCIE lab without a good
understanding of the features, caveats, and
interworkings of the Cisco IOS.
which i beleive the certification is trying
to discern if you have this knowledge or not.
I could be wrong happens lots of times.
thanks for the feedback,
David
