Absolutely true! Look at the economics. :)

I know it's been a while since anyone mentioned it, but these things all
fall into the category of "Anything is Fair Game"... Know it all!

You may get a lab that doesn't have IDS. You may get a lab that has a LOT
of IDS. Do you know before you show up which lab you're getting? No.

In the R&S.... You may get DLSW, or you may not. You may have L3 stuff
spread throughout your switches, you may have a simple L2 architecture. You
never know.

Just like the Boy Scouts say... "Be Prepared"
