My .02 - if you cannot explain a technology then there are probably gaps in
your complete understanding of that technology. Consider the junior network
engineer that looks up to Mr. CCIE. If Mr. CCIE cannot adequately explain
something or answer a technology related question can you really consider
that person an expert as the cert represents?
My thoughts on the IE labs in general are that they test fundamental
understanding of technologies and interactions of technologies, be it some
advanced configurations scenarios or basic fundamental questions. If you do
not know and understand these technologies deep enough then you are limited
in the ability essentially know what ALL of your options are ("Know thy
options" - Bruce and Val). If you know what all your options are, there is a
better than not chance you will be able to answer most if not all questions.
Anyway best of luck to all?
