Hi Scott,

What does "self-induced" means?

Like most of the troubleshooting within the lab, it may have fallen under
the category of "self-induced".

configs during any lab attempt....

I seldom wrote to the group, but the subject line caught me to take a look.

It would be interesting to know why proctor would get on your router to
check your configurations. AFAIK, proctors don't check candidates'
configs during the testing time. Did you suspect a bug and ask him to check?
I'd have asked proctor why he erased some configs if I were you.

In any case you can write to ccie@cisco.com or Cisco Certification Support
and I believe you can fill out feedbacks after finishing your lab.

Overall I feel proctors in my CCIE lab experience are very professional.

regards,
Yinglam

Hi GS,

Today I took my 4th R&S test.
After I checked all my configuration I found the proctor had changed too
many things, left about 20 minutes.
I really astonished because of too severe attacks by the proctor. He blew
out the whole BGP configuration on a switch and so many other configurations
I made. I tried to recover all them, but I couldn't have time to check it
again because the proctor was counting time. So I am not sure it all the
configurations were correct, and finally I found one missing configuration
and I couldn't be able to complete it because He was saying time was over.

I think it is too severe attack to cope.
I would like to know if there is a way to let Cisco know that there will be
few candidates to protect themselves from the attack.

Any opinion?

Regards
/JH
