I agree with Darth Router and that's where I'm coming
from.
I think most people are trying to combat all the
issues in a given lab and adding to one's task-list
can become cumbersome.
Personally, I make a small table with requirements and
if I did them or not.
Now, if I add some complexity, I may just - fail
myself...
And yes, it could happen to me, so I do avoid the
tactic and try to stick to what I am given.
In the past I've done a lot of things not asked by the
proctors that were not asked by them and also had no
merit or value.
I use CDP on my Frame by habit.
I ping my own interfaces on Frame by habit.
I set logging buffered by habit.
I set the clock by habit
I change scheduler allocate by habit.
I ensure logging console by habit.
I use logging sync by habit.
I modify ip syn by habit.
I like update source loop0 in BGP by habit.
Some of these maybe changed by requirements of the lab
and may cost me points, I may otherwise overlook.
Trust me habits can cost points and worse
concentration.
