If it's already on the local router though, would that help? And would it
be better to know before you leave, or have it happen after you left? :)

will it not be a good idea to pwsd-protect console and tty lines when going
into lunch break? is it allowed?

"show run" on all your devices can assist you with that. Checking the logs
can also be good.

Or something similar may show up.

An event set could even telnet from one device to another. So if it's on
your equipment, check it out. If it's on a BB device, well... Hmmm...
Read the security section ahead of time and do that first? :)

It's an amusing concept that something like this would be built in, and
certainly no rules against it. But I'd believe this (or self-induced
things) far more than I'd believe the proctor came in to do that...

Just my opinion!

When I got back from lunch I found that someone (I assume a proctor) removed
vlan assignments on ports for three routers.

Hi Monica,

I would think that #7 is referring to a section later in the lab workbook that might affect an earlier section. If you config XYZ in a section late in the day it could break section ABC that you configured early in the morning. You will get points for XYZ but you will lose your points for ABC. That is why Cisco tells you in tip #1 to read the whole lab. I would doubt that any proctor would break your config while you are at lunch unless you are wearing a Juniper shirt. : )

Thank you,

*TEN TIPS FOR TAKING THE LAB EXAM*

1. Read the entire exam first and check for addressing issues. Do not skip any details or sections.

2. Manage your time. Make a plan to cover all the sections in the time provided. Work out how much time you will spend on each section, keeping in mind the point value of the questions. Don't forget to allow time at the end to verify your solutions.

3. Clarify the requirements of each question. Don't assume requirements that aren't mentioned in the question. During the lab, if you are in any doubt, verify your understanding of the question with the proctor.

4. Do each question as a unit. Configure and verify before moving to the next question. You may want to redraw the topology with all the details available. This will help you visualize and map the network.

5. Troubleshoot. You must know how to troubleshoot using the tools available. Although troubleshooting is important, don't lose too much time working on a 2- or 3-point question. If you're caught off-guard by an unfamiliar topic, don't let it absorb too much time. Work on the things you are more comfortable with and go back to difficult items later.

6. Keep a list. During the exam, make notes on configurations and settings as you move through the exam. Make a separate list for items you have not been able to address or where you have not achieved the desired result which you'll need to revisit.

7. Test your work. *Never rely on a configuration done in the early hours of the exam.* *There is a possibility that an item you configured a few sections earlier can become broken and non-functional *. Keep in mind that points are awarded for working configuration only.

8. Save your configurations often.

9. Don't make any drastic changes in the last half hour of the exam.

10. Speed is vital on the exam. Review and practice core material the week before the exam to ensure you can move quickly through the less challenging questions.

Can anyone Understood what Cisco says on 7th tip

Is it engage troubleshooting part which fashioned by CISCO ?

People says you will analyze your configuration difference before BREAK and AFTER break ? Is it ?

I hope, by this email I am not going to break NDA rule.........

*What you say?*
