CC to the list, as it benefits others.
Sometimes you have to read between the lines and corelate between the
tasks. That's probably the thing that fails most of the candidates.
CCIE lab exam is complex set of interwoven requirements. Something
that you configure in task 3 has a profound effect on task 35 and
vice-versa.
YES - configuring router-id is extra configuration that can cause you
extra trouble or lose you points if not required. However, like we
pointed out, there are legitimate cases when you need to configure it,
even though it's not *explicitly* asked for. Some questions imply that
you may need to use it. That's precisely what makes CCIE lab exam
difficult. Things aren't always spelled out, rather they rely on
candidate's knowledge and experience to figure out the correct
solution.
