There is a saying (I saw it written on the wall of a CCIE lab in Houston)... something like "There are two ways to configure every scenario; for the CCIE LAB you must know all three."
This is so because of the restrictions and conditions placed on each lab and scenario. Now, I know a little Cisco-ese, enough to find the freesnacks breakroom, but it seems like most "example" labs I've tried contradict themselves. Like saying no static routes and then seeing a static mroute in configuration answers, or defining Policy Routing as any source-based traffic manipulation and then using tunneling to overcome another restriction, or tip toeing around the ol' 0.0.0.0 advertisement restriction--justified because it was produced as a side-affect of another method..... Anyway, that is probably my biggest concern at this point, queueing in on the one or two tag words that are supposed kick my brain into the right type of configuration. I don't want to be sitting there digging through the CD (wasting prescious time) looking for that 3rd way (that may or may not exist) because I believe that it can't be done in the ways I know due to the interpretive restrictions.
Can anyone give me peace-of-mind on this?
oh yes
