Thanks for the feedback. I decided to not spend the time reviewing each
config. To go over 10 devices and match up with the diagram can take 15
minutes or so and I didn't want to give up that time. I found two faults
along the way. You couldn't miss them if you were planning on passing the
lab. what if there was something I missed though? My scoring report was a
bit different than my confidence level leaving the lab. lol So I'm having
second thoughts on my fault strategy.
