Hi friends,
I was trying to solve the BGP problems from the book of Hutnik and Shatterly
[CCIE practice lab kit]. It was asking for a policy that traffic from a
network "SHOULD" use a particular link "A". So my solution was routing the
traffic to this particular link "A" it was asked to and no other alternative
to re-route. But the solution in the book was that the link "A" was a primary
and the other link as a Back Up.
When it says "SHOULD" according to thesaurus it means "MUST", so no
consideration of a back up.
But if the keyword is "PREFER" which means "LIKE BETTER" than something else,
this should prompted me to use "PRIMARY/BACK-UP" config/strategy. These
keywords I believe is tangible in taking the lab exam and if misunderstood, it
will be problematic to the result of the exam.
In the actual lab, are these keywords[should/prefer/primary/back-up] very
clearly emphasized to what the lab wants you to do?
I hope the answers to this ? will not violate NDA.
Cheers
Chris...
