Hello,
I don't think I said the feedback was not printable.
Quite the opposite, and it is emailable as well.
It is the test itself that is not printable or cut and pastable.
:)
As far the content of the lab or what they did and did not hit you for, I think I will decline to say specifically.
I will tell you that the lab is 4 hours in length.
I will tell you that is graded based on 50 points (not 100 points; this means each point is worth 2% in case I am not clear enough).
I was given a link to the rules and I think you can find it on their site. There is plenty of information their and if you look at it long enough you may find it helpful.
They use the Autoverify Engine which is somehow affiliated with than most masterful of CCIE's who created a cherished tome near the bottom of the OSI Model...
If you are planning to take the Assessor as an actual assessment, then you really don't want someone to spoil it for you...
Do you?
Give it a go if you have the time, money, and inclination. If not there are other practice labs out there that are extremely high quality and more difficult that this lab.
This lab is basically 1/2 of a real lab with some elements already done for you and some not...
Better to think you have to configure it all.
I am in the time consuming habit of perfoming a:
sh ip int brief
sh ver
At the start of my lab:
Imagine if you were to reboot and find your config register set to 0x2142 and worse if you had configured no service password-recovery... as an item requirement...
Gloomy after doing all that work...
Then it is ALWAYS nice to know EXACLTY what version of code you are dealing with, and if your topology does not match your diagram, you can be in a world of hurt before you even start.
Not being able to print, does make one draw a quick diagram for usage and I even draw a switch diagram to detail my 3550 details as well.
I am in the habit of keeping a list of points and quick notes about my tasks and subtasks.
So I would have done these things first.
I diagram my protocols now, NMC made me a believer in this and I also do my my BGP separately.
I find it nice to be able to check off my connectivity on a per-link basis, then IGP, BGP, MCAST, IPv6, etc.
If you are already doing these things your time may be well-spent.
Later...
