Much of the details to the grading process are not privvy to public eyes.
(for good reason!)
Yes, there is a script. This much has been discussed at Networkers and
other places on numerous occasions. It is not necessarily against a config
though. That's why when you go to the lab, they stress that things need TO
WORK! Most things are tested using stuff like ping, trace, cdp, show
commands and debug commands. SOME things are compared against a config (if
its assumed only one way to do it that's a quicker way to verify), but even
with the best config, if it's not working why would you expect points!
That's also why knowing how to do show and debug commands yourself to verify
things are incredibly important! Not just because they're cool or us
vendors/instructors need something to keep ourselves busy! :)
The fact (in most cases) that there are multiple correct methods to achieve
the same thing shouldn't make any difference to the script.

Subject: CCIE lab and how tasks are graded - example.
Assume there are multiple ways to solve a single task. I heard a "script"
checks the candidate's configs against a known good config solution for the
lab. Candidate's configs that don't pass the script check lose points. the
proctor gets a report from the script, and the script's report is good
enough for the proctor. If the script says FAIL the proctor starts on the
next candidates configs (great service for $1,400 bucks and 3,000 mile
flight, huh?)
Could someone please provide insight into come out on top in this process.
How do I know which way I should go if there are multiple correct solutions?
I will give an example. Which would the "script" probably like, which one
would it flag for grading proctor analysis? Could the script be nice, and
actually "accept" both?
Task -
"All packets larger than 1250 bytes arrving on Router6 G0/0 should be set to
precedence 3."
-two solutions come to mind.
Mqc
____
class-map match-all packets
match packet length min 1251
policy-map largepackets
class packets
set precedence flash
class class-default
int g0/0
service-policy input largepackets
Policy routing
____________
route-map largepackets permit 10
match length 1251 1500
set ip precedence flash
int g0/0
ip policy route-map largepackets
Thanks,
Joe
