Re: Issues in CCIE lab initial configs

To avoid another debate - when I brought it up to the proctors they
said that if you do this you need to delete it at the end of the lab,
like aliases, macros, etc.

The real problem is with partial and finished configs being saved to
flash, that one will cost you. That's a no no.
