The assessor is a hands-off grading. So there may be discrepancies/problems
with the script.
No matter how close you are, the real exam is hands-on grading. Yup,
there's a script. But there's always a live proctor as well to look at
things. Obviously, the closer you are the more time will be spent manually
on things!
The real labs go through a much more extensive testing
procedure/grading/reviewing before being rolled out to the real world.
Assessor, well... it's a test, but IMHO not held to the same extensive
reviews because it's just... well.... different.
The real exam is a results-based exam, so they may find things by "show ip
bgp" on the receiving router unless there was somehting else in the
instructions that told you to do, or not to do something else.

Hello Experts,
I took my first Cisco Assessor Lab this morning, and am pretty excited about
the results! It is a good eye-opener on how tasks are graded, and how points
are assigned.
I did have one issue with a solution regarding BGP and next-hop-self.
Instead of using this on a neighbor command, I just inserted a "set ip
next-hop peer-address" into the route-map which was needed for another task
(dealing with setting MED out to this same neighbor). The only constraint on
the task was to accomplish this by not re-configuring any other router.
My question is whether or not this would get marked wrong in the real lab
also...?
During my studying with vendor WBs, I would always assume if you get the
same results, the solution is ok. Now my eyes are opened to the fact that
scripts do not always check every answer!
I think I read/heard that if you are within a certain range of 80% (3 pts or
so), your lab gets manually checked... is that correct? If so, what happens
if there are 2 or 3 task solutions which the script does not account for,
and you get pushed out of this range. I assume you pay the re-grade if you
feel like you really did enough to pass!
A follow-up question to the group is to whether or not my answer, is indeed,
correct?
Here is the answer per the Assessor:
router bgp 1
*neighbor 100.1.65.6 next-hop-self
* no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 100.1.1.1 remote-as 1
neighbor 100.1.1.1 update-source Loopback0 neighbor 100.1.65.6 remote-as 2
neighbor 100.1.65.6 route-map TO_R6 out no auto-summary !
!
!
route-map TO_R6 permit 10
set metric 500
!
Here is my answer:
router bgp 1
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 100.1.1.1 remote-as 1
neighbor 100.1.1.1 update-source Loopback0 neighbor 100.1.65.6 remote-as 2
neighbor 100.1.65.6 route-map TO_R6 out no auto-summary !
!
!
route-map TO_R6 permit 10
set metric 500
set ip next-hop peer-address
Any/all input is welcome!
Thanks,
Michael
