As a general rule, overconfiguration WON'T hurt you, unless it breaks
something else.

Also, when comparing what you have configured to a vendor solution, DON'T
assume you are wrong just because you did something different. Instead,
reread the section, and verify that what you configured did not violate any
stated requirements. Also, ask yourself if there are any OTHER methods that
could be used to achieve the same results. Knowing multiple ways to do
things can be very helpful for the CCIE lab.

Subject: Configuration in the Lab

Hello All,

Hopefully I am not asking to much here.

I was wondering if anyone had and Idea about losing points for extra
configuration?

Say for example you add a route-reflector-client on a neighbor that didn't
need it.

Or maybe a Next-hop-self on a neighbor that isn't requested of it

Will this lose you points? and where would the points be lost if you did the
above.
Could you lose points on all bgp section by adding this extra configuration?

Is this a proctor question? does there need to be a more direct example?

Second question:

In a route-map, redistributing connected into BGP

match interface loopback0

compared to

match ip address prefix-list loopback0

ip prefix-list loopback0 permit <loopback network>

They generate the same output, is there a preference?

Another proctor question?

Should you mark yourself wrong if the practice labs that you are doing says
a different method than you have implemented? or be lenient on yourself?

Just my general thoughts, anyones input is welcome.
