lee,
same here, buddy. i nailed bgp on my last (3rd) attempt. of course i can't

say "how" i know, but there are various show commands you can use to verify
your configs..... and the f@ckers have me a 50%. i really think cisco needs

to be held accountable to a certain extent with regards to their methods of
grading. it is only fair that if we shell out $1250 + travel expenses, we
should have a feeling that their grading procedures are accurate and not
flawed. i can tell you with 100% assurity that their methods of grading are

very flawed and they need to seriously consider revising these methods.
there should never be an instance where a candidate should need a re-grade.
re-grades in and of themselves are an indication of this problem. we hope
you are listening cisco!
