Re: OT: Anyone pass V4 lab exam?

Perhaps troubleshooting is an art and a science, with a little voodoo mixed
in. I also understand that people not studying for the CCIE do it everyday.
Some of those people are good at it and some are horrible, just like
anything else.

Real life troubleshooting is even worse because you involve clients, other
engineers, third-party vendors, TAC and you usually have more than 2 hours
for one trouble ticket which means you can dilly dally until you find the
solution, make things up, use a lifeline, etc.
