Hi,
I just figured out my own confusion on this topic, and yes, there is
something unclear in my English interpretation of this sentence. If you
speak the language natively, you probably won't see my stumbling block.
Here's a copy/paste of the CCO documentation...
EIGRP summary routes are given an administrative distance value of 5.
The administrative distance metric is used to advertise a summary
without installing "IT" in the routing table.
You see, when I read that word "IT" in this sentence, is it referring to
"metric" or "summary"? In my language, since it is closer in syntax to
the word "summary", then I would conclude "summary" is the NOUN this
"IT" PRONOUN is representing.
Ugghh!!
Another layer of complexity to deal with. I thought after 13 years in
the U.S. that I'd have a very good command of the language. ;->
For non-English members on this list, allow me to repeat Clinton's
words...
"I feel your pain."

Elmer,
From what I can see of your posts, your English is much better than most
native speakers!
I don't think that the language is a barrier for non-native speakers.
Speaking as someone who has one attempt under his belt, almost everyone
will be talking to the proctor about ambiguities in the lab test
booklet. Parts of the booklet are very ambiguous and WILL require
clarification. I'm sure Cisco does this deliberately. I even found a
typo in the first couple of pages.
Ask the proctor. That's what they are there for. If no one is asking
questions they work on their own projects or surf the web or whatever. I
probably went up about 12-15 times and neither proctor seemed
particularly put out about all my questions. A couple of times they
wouldn't answer, saying, "well, that's what you are supposed to figure
out.."
HTH,
Jonathan

Hi,
I am not saying I want the summary to Null0 removed. All I'm saying is
if I follow the wording on CCO, that's what is supposed to happen. I
guess this is coming from an Instructor's point of view where a student
reading this would interpret it like it says, that "no summary route is
installed in the route table". So it's safe to say this is not 100%
accurate as documented online. I hope that makes sense. Now my other
concern was that people whose native language is not English might
interpret lab questions/requirements differently and how proctors handle
this situation. Are they considerate or do they take the position that
the candidate is soliciting direct answers to lab questions? I am not
making a big fuss about this though, but considering that each point
earned is important, as a friend put it, a big part of the lab is a test
on a person's comprehension.
I hope I'm making sense.
Thanks.
Elmer

I am a little confused here. You summarize it for a reason and
why
do you want to remove the route to Null0 from the table? Can we achieve
both?
