Hi,
I went yesterday to brussels, and did the RS exam. All went well, I did
all the exam with the exception of a 2 point question, everything was
fine, I thought I got all the tricks, I was all excited on the plane
back home, nevertheless I've failed. :(
I kept thinking about the exame and I think I would do everything the
same way, I kept annoying the proctor with questions on which I had
doubts interpreting, just to not let anything pass unseen.
I am at the stage where I think that studying one more month would not
do any difference on that exam, the difference is on how the decisions
are made, and whether or not it will cost you points.
So, I'd like to share with you some errors that I did that I think that
costed me points.
- Do not do anything that they didn't specifically told you to ---
example: a preempt on a HSRP group active router. You may think of it as
a best practice (if we want it to be active as much time as possible,
but if not said in the lab...)
- Be as specific as possible when allowing/changing policies on your
network --- example: Even if no other BGP peer, do not just set weight
to the peer indiscriminately if not specifically told so. Even in QoS,
beware match any.
- ISDN can be ambiguous in wording - try to get as much information from
the proctor as possible.
- KISS - Keep It Simple and Stupid - DO NOT GET FANCY
I'd like to ask for your opinions on that, and complete the list, just
to see if we can once and for all dominate the Cisco way of doing things
Thank you
Gustavo
