Re: Question CCIELab

I totally agre with Anthony here, doc cd is a must!

I believe referencing doc cd effectively is also the part of lab and
an objective of ccie lab and wat cisco had in mind while desigining
ccie lab, else whats the point of providing doc cd access during the
lab if one has to cram everything, though again it shud not be used
for basic tasks lyk igp n all.... If Cisco want to create their
representatives everywhere than they certainly wud want them to know
the documention of there products n problems that they might face in
real life!

Just my 2 cents.
