This is what I got back from CISCO..
It does not confirm (nor deny) major changes to LAB structure.
I'm with Lee.. to have a crack based on nothing much will change. Its
well worth knowing where to find all the new 12.2 IOS specific commands
on the CD (and review them).
If anything, they will certainly add may add more QoS found in 12.2.
Let me know know if you pass or not..
Cheers,
Jason
The CD documentation in the lab is same as the one posted out on
cisco.com, so it will be the most current one.
I wish you all the best with your lab exam.
