In the Lab, He who brings down his Layer-2 should also be the one to
bring it back up... At least he will find this out one way or the other.
Although I suppose there are those who use CCIE Lab Racks as another
collection of Practise Labs.

With regards to Proctors, I have decided to be diplomatic, maybe when I
get my magic numbers I wouldn't .... But for now, Proctors are my best
friends in this Business :-) lol!

Many Thanks

Although occasionally a lab candidate will do something unintentional
like
setting PAGP unconditionally that subsequently takes down the entire
Layer 2
switching backbone in the lab...

Although that is just an anecdotal tale :)

I think this is just another manifestation of 'The Fear'.

Proctors do not sabotage or screw around with lab candidates
configurations.

They do read groupstudy though :)
