A few questions about the lab

rakem

As my lab date approaches I have a few questions I'd like to know the answer too.

1) I know we get access to the Cisco documentation area... I'm assuming it is some type of 'offline' version. Is it this?
Select Your Product or Technology - Product/Technology Support - Cisco Systems

2) In the INE WB2 labs it states that no partial credit is given.. Is this the same as in the real lab?
For example - say they ask me to configure sometime simple like SNMP, and part of the question is to configure a SNMP location.
What if i forgot to do the SNMP location, but everything else is correct.... Would I get the whole section wrong or just miss a couple of points for that section?

I think that's it for now

1) I believe this is correct. Everything or most everything under Products.
2) All or nothing.

1) Yes, that is the page you have access to. You can't download PDFs if you are used to doing that. You need to know where to find the links. You can search by doing ctrl+f.
2) All or nothing, remember that it's a script that grades you so everything is output based. For everything you configure you should know how to check it with a show command.

We could do this like a FAQ for CCIE lab but only questions that don't violate NDA of course.

Can you add bookmarks to the browser? I have 4 bookmarks to various parts of the DocCD depending on what it is I want...

Never tried it but you should not have to do that. What I usually do is read through the entire lab and try to open up the sections where I think I might need some assistance later on.

Another thought I just had... What IOS will the devices be running, I assume a 12.4 version?

Zartanasaurus

12.4(15)t9
12.2(44)se

OK good... I have been doing a bit with IOS 15 and some of the commands are different or don't exist.
Glad it's still using 12.4 for the lab.

If you're taking the Routing & Switching exam, it looks like you'll be tested on 12.4(T) for the routers and 12.2 for the switches:
