Both methods use reverse telnet. What everyone seems to be expecting is
that you have a serial link from your PC to the term server (or are only
allowed 1 telnet session) then you telnet to the loopback on the right port
number and are connected to another serial port.
I think is a better was to do this is have an ethernet connection from the
PC to the term server, then you can telnet via hyperterm or windows telnet
to the termserver ethernet address and specify the right port number to be
connected to the serial port of your choice. You can then open 1 telnet
session per device and see everything at once. It is serial processing v.
parallel processing. I find this better because then I can see all the
routers at once. I can just click on the hyperterm icon on the start bar to
bring up the router I want to use. I can also see multiple routers at once,
so I can see the affects of changes I make on 1 router propagate through the
network. This is really cool if you have debug ip routing enabled and drop
a link or clear bgp neighbors.
My 2 cents, not many people I have talked to use this method for various
reasons, but I think if everyone understood and tried it they would like it.

As of 5/6/02 San Jose uses rev telnet sessions. I didn't know they did it
any other way. From what I've read CCIE labs are standardized. I know it's a
small detail but I'm very quick with reverse telnet and if I sat down to a
situation like you describe with RTP I wouldn't be nearly as comfortable.
That needs to be examined.

I'm pretty sure this is not an NDA violation since this has nothing to do
with test content.
I will be taking my CCIE Security Lab in San Jose pretty soon and I'd like
to know how router access is configured in San Jose. Are they still using
reverse telnetting or are they using the RTP-style access where you can open
one hyperterm for each router/switch?
