Indeed, Learning Network seems to be unresponsive now. This is the
quote from that document:

"In alignment with CCIE level requirements, Cisco is adding L2
switching features to the CCIE R&S Troubleshooting exam through L2 IOS
software on Unix (L2IOU) virtual environment. The new feature will be
available starting January 17, 2011. The CCIE R&S exam consists of 2
sections b the troubleshooting (TS) section which runs two hours, and
the Configuration (Config) section which is six hours. The Config lab
utilizes actual physical devices in racks, whereas, the TS lab uses a
virtual environment under IOU. IOU offers a very realistic simulation
of router (L3+) features in the TS lab but until now had no L2 switch
capability. With the addition of the new L2IOU, the TS lab will now
include both L2 and L3 capabilities in the virtual environment."

It clearly states using IOU for L2.
