Lets see if you really passed or not.
Did you check your work by doing the following:
1) show ip route on ALL routers to see that ALL routes were present? were
they being learnt from the right protocol and with the correct metric?
2) Did you do Show dlsw peers/reachability/cache?
3) Show isdn status and debug dialer event.
4) Show Frame Map and show Frame PVC
5) Show ipx routes/Servers
6) Show ip bgp/nei
7) sho ip ospf/eigrp/igrp nei
8) Sho buffers to view your acl logs after you enabled them?
9) show ntp associations if relevant
10) show nat trans
11) show config all on the cat
This list can go on forever....
Even if you did check your work thoroughly, it still does not mean that you
did not misunderstand the requirements.
The point I am trying to make is that while you may well have done a great
job on the day, the fact that there is no more partial marking ,and you being
mortal, means that there are a million places to make errors.
Take heart and realise that they almost always want a precise solution when
they set their questions, and anything else will be a failure.
If you really feel 100% sure you did enough to pass and still failed, -
highly unlikely, you can email the ccie group at ccie@cisco.com. Mike Reid is
an old pro and he will make sure the right score was given. I had a similar
issue before and was very pleased with the treatment I received from the ccie
group @ cisco. Still failed.
So try your luck and you may become the first person to have a score
reversed, - again highly unlikely. Bear in mind though that the effort may
cost you $250 dollars.
To cap it all, I will say forget it and take heart. Next time remember that
almost every word in the question is significant and when in doubt, ask the
instructor before you implement a solution.
Last tip, if you feel confident about knowing the material, do your next lab
sooner rather than later before you get off the boil. If you passed it this
time, you will certailnly pass it next month. No guarantees after three
months.
HTH,
E'Guru

Give it a couple of days and look deeper. The
mistakes you made will hit like a brick in the
forehead. The key is in the details.
