I believe you are only allowed 10 posts per day now & then the board
intercepts them as spam.
Maybe this is the problem?

I took the test almost 6 years ago. I wouldn't be suprised if it
wasn't totally consistant. I assume the proctors have some leeway in
making these decisions. A few months prior to my going another two
people I work with went to the lab. They had to configure RSRB and we
always have used 4095 as the virtul ring, (translates nicely in hex to
FFF) and Cisco docs did the same. Both on these guys, they were not
even sitting next to each other, used 4095 as the virtual ring. The
proctor accused them of cheating. After an almost heated discussion
he
still took half the points.
There is my best non-answer ofthe day!!

P.S. it appears that my posts are not getting on the list, only the
replys fron the original posters, is this the case??
Thanks
