Possible error in CCNA 640-802

Issue with Step 10 in Part 1 Lab 14. Simulator is up to date.

The "boot system flash:c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-21.bin" was listed incorrectly and from what my research shows is should be "boot system flash c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-21.bin", is this true?

Also in step 5 where is says for me to copy c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-21.bin from the tftp server. I do that and when I run "show flash" it shows c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-21.bin as the higher file number but the file length is only 20009 instead of something like 26100776 switch is the same as c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-7h.bin.

Also, the question seems to accept any tftp address I put in, even though it says to put in 10.1.1.1 for the tftp address. I could put in something like 12.12.12.12 and it would say anything is wrong with it.

I wrote a support letter to informit.com but if nothing comes up I might as well ask for a refund. You can't have too much faith in studying for an exam when there's errors like this. :S

Thanks for all help.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Joe

If you are talking about a simulator, and I am not sure which simulator you are using, but what I can tell you is that the simulators such as Packet Tracer or the Boson Sim are nowhere close to the actual IOS found on Cisco devices. GNS3 can simulates them nearly flawlessly (maybe 98% flawless). Do not let those simulators throw you off completely as I do not recommend you to depend on it for accuracy. It doesn't really gauge your performance on the actual equipments.

And I stand corrected. I just bashed on the Packet Tracer that Cisco owns. Although, it does a pretty good job than most third-party simulators out there. I believe you are using is a third-party simulator. Cisco probably worked out some deals with Boson to provide them a sim for non-Cisco-Academy people.
