Hi Sean,
I think it will be right to ask the proctor. It all depends on how you put
forward the question.
permit even VLANs in range 2-9 ONLY
When the question looks like the above , we can clarify with the proctor that
it was to allow 2,4,6,8 only .
Pls. Note :- This is not a english langauage Exam. This is an networking exam.
we have been awarded marks for knowing how to use allowed vlan command . We
are not accessed on how we read and interpret the question.
FYI : I took my exams last time in Brussels . It was such a wonderful
experience. The proctor was really really good.
I would suggest pls. do not hesitate to clarify with the proctor any thing
that has to do with interpretation of the question. Assuming things will show
up in your results.
Thanks and Regards
Arun
