Just because you could ping all the interfaces does not mean you met the
requirements.

The requirement may have specified that connectivity must be achieved in a
certain way.
If you achieved connectivity a different way you will not have met the
requirement -- hence no marks.

I.E I could put static routes everywhere this would achieve connectivity,
but would not get any marks !!!

You were trying to use extended ping using source interface as Ethernet
or loopbacks ? may be you are able to ping all the interfaces from the
router itself and not able to ping if you used extended ping? Is that
what happened to you ?!

Hi Everyone,

I have just failed my 2nd lab attempt.

I was just wondering if anyone has had the frustrating experience of
having all the interfaces pingable in the lab exam and only getting 50%
of the credit for the IGP protocols section.

I finished the lab an hour early, checked my work to ensure that all
interfaces are reachable including the loopbacks (that was the lab
requirement ).

It is really frustrating and discouraging to find out that you failed
after you made thorough checks amd you were so sure you would pass
because you got everything working.

I must be missing out on something, perhaps I did not answer the
questions in the manner Cisco expected me to ? It is so frustating not

to know what I did incorrectly. The questions were sometimes seems vague

and the proctor does not necessarily want to make it clearer.

Is there anyone out there that shares the same experiences and
sentiments ?

Regards,

Paul
