Re: One Misconception about lab

It is just the matter with "just in case".
Can you tolerate the chance to blow up when Proctor reload the routers,
and configuration isn't working ?
That's up to you.
If I were you, I will try to reload the routers, and test it again.
It really depends on each proctor's preference.
Some may do reload before grading.
Some may not.

If you have strong confidence, you can go ahead.

But in real life, I saw some consultant tested the router configuration,
and didn't save the configuration before their departure.
As a result, customer called in after power outage to blame on us for
not having "default" route programmed in their CPE.

If you trust your configuration without final reload and test, then it
turns out that proctor reload it and it fails.
It is your risk.
But don't recommend it to everybody as "must".

Technically you don't have to test anything after you program your
routers from the lab.
Then why do you test every scenario/questions after you program it?
Same thing goes to "reload/test".
It is one more thorough test for your job.
