Why not use both if you have two interfaces to configure with an explanation
in the description of the interface. or if there's only one interface to
configure then use the description , banner, motd whatever, to indicate that
you know of another way too. Maybe ask the proctor what you should do, he
prolly wont mind either but at least he'll be (a little) impressed that you
know of both.
