Re: Values in time range and TCP intercept and beyond

I feel ya. I asked this one to the lab designer at Cisco Live.

The answer is simple - do what the lab says to do.

Thus... if it says 1600 to 1800 for example...

The grading script is going to be looking for those values and not anything
else.

Anyone else can argue the semantics and how the command works. The lab is
not quite that ornate on wording - if they ask for a certain value, chances
are they want EXACTLY/VERBATIM what they are asking for.

Or at least that is what the script is going to look for.

Let's put it this way:

Guys who pass never know what they passed on.

Guys who fail do get a score report that might be vague but might not be too
vague if the math is correct. If one gets 100% in a section and uses a
certain nomenclature then there is a possibility that it stands to be
correct.
