Dan,

Thank so much for the feedback. I just don't want to narrow my point of view.

Again, thanks a lot........

  Ed,

  as far as I know.

  1. if you make 80% or more, than you pass no mater what. If there is no
question at all saying the loopback0 of routerX should be assigned to
something specific, ask the proctor. The last time I did the LAB the proctor
said. to put the loopback in the routing protocol the way i though it should
be. If there is no specific question to put the loopback or an interface. just
add it in a way you'll have it in your routing domain.

  2. I think you should Stick to what was requested in the lab. Again. ask the
proctor if you feel unsafe about doing extra configs.
      imagine you are the one who is evaluating the knowledge of the Mock
attempter and you ask for critical traffic ( IPP=5) and the guy ansewers with
critical, internet and network traffic ( IPP=5,6,7). You can think this guy
does not know what "critical means".... go figure..

  3. stick the the DIAGRAM! in the lab, there are messy things to fix so you
can get what is specified in the diagram. I already did the lab and the
initial config does not reflect that should be. I had to make few changes in
order to make it work.

  HTH,

    Hi Group,

    I have done a few Mock Labs to prepare my 1st $1400 rack rental in San
Jose
    early April. And I just recieved the report for my mock lab yesterday. I
have
    some questions really need your help.

    1. I heard that the general rule in the lab is full ip reachability. So
if
    only some routers in the lab are running BGP. And I did not bring routes
    advertised by BGP routers and/or BB routers or maybe I did not
redistribute a
    loopback interface which is not included in any routing prortocol. Am I
    automatically failed the lab even I get 80% or over? Or it is not possible
to
    get 80% or more?

    2. I would like some clarification on tasks I lost points in the mock
lab. I
    would really appreciate your input. The question says:

    . Network administrators of R6 have been noticing output drops
accumulating on
    the Frame Relay link to BBI. In order to prevent this
    type of tail drop configure R6 to randomly drop packets before congestion
    happens on the Serial interface's output queue.
    . In order to ensure that critical traffic transiting your network gets
the
    best service possible configure R6 so that critical traffic will not be
    dropped unless there are 50 packets in the output queue.
    . If there are 70 critical packets in the output queue R6 should randomly
drop
    2 out of every 16 of these packets.
    . In the case that there are more than 70 critical packets in the output
    queue, they should all be dropped.

    My answer to the task is :

    interface Serial0/0
    ip address 54.9.1.6 255.255.255.0
    encapsulation frame-relay
    ip summary-address rip 129.9.0.0 255.255.128.0
    random-detect
    random-detect precedence 5 50 70 8
    random-detect precedence 6 50 70 8 <------------------- EXTRA CONFIG
    random-detect precedence 7 50 70 8 <------------------- EXTRA CONFIG
    frame-relay map ip 54.9.1.254 101 broadcast
    no frame-relay inverse-arp
    My question is : Do I get points for this question with the extra lines
of
    config indicated?

    3. Task says:

    . Configure SWI and SW4 in such a way that R5 E0/0 and SW2 Fa0/20 appear
    directly connected via CDP.
    . If an additional VLAN is needed use VLAN 100.
    Layer 1 connection: R5(e0/0)====SW1====SW4=====(Fa0/20)SW2

    "Diagram here http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgsxsjvv_44htgh39dp"

    I successfully configured a layer 2 tunnel. So that R5 and SW2 see each
other
    as neighbor according to CDP.

    Now, SW2 was pre-congifured with the ip address on interface vlan 58. I
was
    trying to put the ip address on the Fa0/20 of SW2. SW2 complained about
    duplicate ip address. I then I looked the lab rule as shown below:

    Lab Do's and Don'ts:
    . Do not change or add any IP addresses from the initial configuration
unless
    otherwise specified
    . Do not change any interface encapsulations unless otherwise specified
    . Do not change the console, AUX or VTY passwords or access methods
unless
    otherwise specified
    . Do not use any static routes, default routes, default networks, or
policy
    routing unless otherwise specified
    . Save your configurations often

    However, I lost points on this task because "IP address should've been
    configured on SW2's Fa0/20 interface as per diagram, not on Vlan58"

    Is it a fair game? Did I miss something. Due to points lost on this task,
I
    also lost points on other task relied on this task. The reason is "EIGRP
    hellos should've been sent out SW2's Fa0/20 interface, not Vlan58"

    Please help,

    Lui
