Re: CCIE SP IOS images...

Very true. Labels could not get allocated or tunnels not coming up properly.
Sometimes routing tables not propagated correctly, all due to some weird
bugs. 9 out of 10 times it's just issuing the correct 'clear' command, of
course a reload always helps.

This is what makes the SP lab so difficult, you have to be so certain of
your case that it's not the configuration causing the issue.
