George, we really can't say too much about the lab (other than joke about
the watermelon juice in the cafeteria at SJ)

The NDA is pretty iron-clad and we have to respect the secrecy of the lab.

What I can tell you is be ready for ANYTHING. And I do mean ANYTHING that
you see in the blueprint. The first time I took the lab I jokingly said upon
first read thru of the test, this is a CCNP hands on exam... as I dug deeper
towards the end of the day I felt outgunned. So to avoid getting behind or
confused just be really carefully, write notes, draw diagrams as you go (if
you need to) and think about what they are trying to ask you.

You'll pass if you keep a solid focus on the tasks, and read everything VERY
VERY carefully!!!

Hi all,

I just did ipexpert lab 22. and it was for first time where in a lab they
don't tell you to speak a protocol to a backbone router,
and as I just copy-pasted configs of BB routers I didn't even notice they
had some protocols running on them.

So I didn't know about some protocols running and didn't configure them.
but then I found out in solutions that I had to configure BGP peering with
BB1 and rip as well.

Does it happen on real lab? do they not tell you what protocols you need to
speak to BB?
and you just have to find that out debugging?
or is it just ipexpert preparing us for the cruel world ? :)

Thanks and regards,
