Re: R&S 4.0 review

Hello Ivan,

Sorry to hear that you fail as I know the pain from my last two attempts.
But take it positively as this is V4 and so far couldnt see any mail saying
someone pass v4 ,

As far as i understood from all previous mail, v4 can be treated like same
earlier version with config part having same level of tasks PLUS you have
Troubleshooting.. Its like cisco has taken 2.5 hours out from your 8 hour
lab and make u do the same task as before guys have done in 8 hrs time.
