I asked this question today and three times of two
proctors and the manager on site...
3 Answers...
Mr. Thornton simply was not sure at or about 7:30am...
But it appears - Security is his thing - so this may
be why...
The manager was asked during lunch and he is reported
by about 5 witnesses to have said "only 2 switches".
Mr. Pearce who is an RS proctor said yes there will be
4 switches in the RS labs after November 13th and went
into great detail and depth including explaing why the
first 2 gentlemen may have not known the correct
answer in the first place.
Now - Mr Pearce also stated what models would be
present:
QTY 3: 3560's
QTY 1: 3550
So that is as close to the horses mouth as I could
come and even at Cisco at the lab in RTP in North
Caroliona, 3 answers to one simple question, can be
obtained in one day by three guys who sat anywhere
from one foot to 10 feet apart.
But the definitive end of day - spend 20 minutes
explaining it answer - said 4 switches.
So that is my take and it as Sabrina had told me
before...
Not that it matters if you know Switching Topics very
well anyway...
For me, I hope it means if I should have to repeat the
exam, it will be easier to get even more points...
Unless they are all QoS additions... :)
