Similar thing happened with me also.
   
  For an IOS/IP Features question, all the five commands were missing. And I found out this thing at the last moment. And yes, it is not the "self-induced" thing, cos I configured the commands and saved the configuration twice (actually much more than those number of times, but before reloading saved the configuration twice, again).
   
  At first I also thought it is a bug, but it wasn't. It was a bug in the form of Proctor, that is what i thought. Didn't face this problem in my previous attempt. Now since the second attempt is doomed, wonder what is going to happen the next time.

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

I'd have asked proctor why he erased some configs if I were you.

and I believe you can fill out feedbacks after finishing your lab.

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

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

out the whole BGP configuration on a switch and so many other

I made. I tried to recover all them, but I couldn't have time to
check

again because the proctor was counting time. So I am not sure it all
the
configurations were correct, and finally I found one missing

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

Any opinion?
