Vijay,
If everything else works as it's supposed to, you'll lose only the points
for the ATM config.
My example was specific to the situation where you didn't achieve layer 2
connectivity.
If you can achieve layer 2 connectivity but not in the way required, you'll
lose only those points related
to the incorrect layer 2 connectivity.
However, this scenario is a bit contrived in that sometimes, if not often,
there'll be
other dependencies.
On the positive side, once you get past the BGP section, most other tasks
that follow aren't dependent on any other
tasks that also follow.
HTH, Tim
