In general, it's usually not that they specifically remove command options,
or syntax information, but individual IOS versions may vary as far as what
they will support.

RFCs have always been fair game when they have been relevant to the track.
RFC 1918 and 3330, for example, used to be explicitly listed on the SP
blueprint. Most people are familiar with 1918, but 3330 is not as well
known. It's definitely one that would be relevant to the track. RFC 2827,
for example, is explicitly listed on the security lab blueprint, but could
also apply to service provider environments.

There are often multiple ways that a task can be achieved. Successfully
navigating through a CCIE lab usually requires knowing multiple methods to
complete a specific task.

Some routers may have help disabled for some command subsets or even
some configuration options may be disabled (sorry, can not disclsose
examples). One idea is to check the syntax on another router from the
lab.

And yes, I had one question that specifically referred to a RFC I did
not know. There was no mention about this RFC in the doc CD (double
checked after I exited the lab), so this was not fair.

Another dirty trick is that they may ask things with very shady
completion criteria (think of optimization or something), so actually
you have no clue except your best practice knowledge. For one of
these questions I confirmed my understanding with the proctor twice,
got two different answers, and finally ended up with no points.

Cheers,
