Re: OT - Version 4 Scoring

Good points Anthony. My pre-lab jitters are getting the best of me. I'm
still curious about dynamips so I might follow thru with that anyway.

While we *only* feature 13 devices in our Troubleshooting materials,
we ensure the candidate is tested at all possible levels. For example,
in the new 6-Day R&S Bootcamp, Trouble Tickets encompass issues like
Layer 2, Layer 3 IGP Routing, Layer 3 EGP Routing, and Multicast
troubleshooting.

Also remember, just because Cisco might present 20 devices in the
overall section - the Trouble Tickets will certainly not incorporate
all of the devices at once. In fact, with students receiving 10 to 12
Trouble Tickets, it is quite clear that these are issues that are
rather isolated throughout the topology.

Also worth mention is the fact that Layer 2/3 switch troubleshooting
must still be isolated to the Configuration section now since the
emulator does not support switches.
