Nrf;
I can word "go to the store and buy ice cream" in a complex task, you may
struggle to figure out.
Think of the fun the test writers have with all the ways we can switch, and
everything else on the doc cd under 3550/3560.
Also you're very wrong about their not being many switching points... I can
assure you I voted for President in 1996. There were more points in
switching tasks (yes configured on switches) than the quantity of years I
have been alive. So you can lose enough points in switching quite easily to
FAIL THE ENTIRE EXAM, even if the rest is PERFECT.
Perhaps you should sit the lab again. I'm not saying they were the hardest
points, but I didn't get all of them. So I went back to reading the DOC CD
even deeper.

Uh, when did I say that switching and bridging are not part of the lab "at
all"?
I simply said that switching and bridging don't comprise VERY MUCH of the
lab, and, more importantly, that, frankly, there aren't THAT MANY commands
in switching anyway. That's because switches, frankly, aren't particularly
complicated pieces of gear from a configuration standpoint, relative to
routers. Most of the power of a switch rests in the fabric. But on the
lab, that doesn't really matter because, unlike a regular
production-network, you're not pushing a lot of traffic through your
'virtual network'. Hence, it would not be that difficult for an emulator to
present a bunch of switches.
Think about it. On the lab, are you even pushing 1Mbps of frames
consistently through any of your switches? Heck, are you even pushing
1Kbps? I think not. So why would such switch behavior be so hard to
emulate? >> Subscription information may be found at:
