RE: Loose points on restrictions

Maarten,

Here's my theory on that:

If at one point in the lab, you are asked to configure something, but
you cant get it to work for whatever reason (ie, configure a routing
protocol, don't use a static route), and then another part of the lab is
BASED upon the previous part working, I would suggest taking the loss of
points for that particular section, ie, use a static route to get your
connectivity, but then the other section will work. It's worked well for
myself and our students doing it this way. I think it has something to
do with the way the grading engine works - but this is just my theory!!!
The things the engine looks for is secretive, but, if I had to guess, it
will look at your routing tables, connectivity test results (ping
tests), and configurations from the devices. If the connectivity doesn't
work, then you will probably lose all of the points even if
configuration is correct based upon the connectivity. (make sense?) So,
when in doubt, stick that static route in there if you cant get your
connectivity working for whatever reason. That's my theory, and I'm
sticking to it!

Hi group,

If you have a question early in the lab which you can't solve. But this
question is crucial for connectivity to continue the rest of the lab.
You
know you can solve the question with an option but it is restricted by
the
lab restictions (For example a static route). Will you loose extra point
for
breaking a restictions when you leave it this way because you run out of
time? Or just the points of this question

Thanks
