That's fine. I am just surprised. There is nothing quick about checking CDP
on every router and documenting it. Since most people don't seem to have
enough time to get through the lab - it's hard to believe duplicating work
can actually be beneficial. I think a game plan is important, don't get me
wrong.
Thanks.
