HI sirus,
It's difficult to understand why we failed or got low marks in some
sections. It requires a sincere examination of one's self to admit a
failure.
A simple task may not be as simple as it seems. If it's that simple, why are
you tested on it in the difficult & coveted CCIE lab. Besides, remember that
the the ccie lab is an 'ALL OR NOTHING GAME.'
No partial credits. Marks are awarded for perfect answers only (ones that
meet ALL requirements without breaking ANY requirement).
As an example, let's assume a candidate had a task like below:
TASK 3.X Configure RIP on R1 for the specified interfacees. Ensure that RIP
routes are neither sent nor received on interface S1/0.
This question is simple, but it only seems so. So we provide a solution like
below:
R1
router rip
ver 2
no auto
network x.x.x.x
network y.y.y.y
passive-interface s1/0
A candidate may assume the 'passive-interface' command would meet the second
requirement.
WRONG.
Passive-interface only prevents SENDING of routes, and not RECEIVING of
routes. So the candidate scores a 0 for not meeting ALL requirements for
this 'simple' task. He is perplexed and doubts his scores.
Please dont give up. Reexamine yourself sincerely again. Take the
suggestions provided by the other experts, and you shall surely come home
after your next lab with a number.
Regards,
Felix
