    My attempt was the same. I am not saying I got 100% for everything but everything was working IPV4, MBGP, Multicast etc 100%. So I was confident too and very disappointed to see fail as well. Esp. when there are faults which you overcome during the lab and all the lights come on.

     

    However we can fail because we do not interpret the question or questions correctly. The biggest thing which can fail us is that too much config is strung together for the 3 points J So you can have it all good but leave out a line which does not affect the outcome of the results in the routing table e.g. isis network point-to-point does not affect the routes themselves but needed to be under the interface to meet a question requirement!? So we deem it to be correct but we lose 3 points for missing config. Do that a few times and you are a gonner!!

     

    What I find strange is during lab practice before my lab with the kit being used I used to get a lot of “mpls label corruption”. Routes which had labels are withdrawn from the LFIB etc and reachability then goes and nothing works!!! You then have to reload and all works again (ISIS L1 & L2 with TE across both L1 & L2 esp.J). Who is to say that after you have finished your lab and after a few hours label corruption occurs, (bearing in mind we are building quite a few differing technologies on the 2600/3600/3800 which ideally should run on 7206VXR and higher device) when they come to mark it nothing works…

     

    My 2 cents…

     

    You just have to keep your chin up and go again and hopefully nail it next time. It totally sucks failing but will be worth it once you have achieved it

    The regrade part is always an option, but I'd want to go over what methods of verification and things you did prior to that (within policy!).

    This is the time where you have hopefully diagrammed and written down as much detail as you remember about the lab (for yourself) so that you can reverse engineer things and try to figure out areas where you MAY have misinterpreted what was being asked.

    Unfortunately, when you know the technologies, and feel great about the lab, yet still fail it...  The wording of the questions is often the hardest thing to try to remember/figure out after the fact.  Unicast me and we can go over a few things without breaking any policies.

    I know how you feel. It's a big frustation to fail the lab when we feel ready. But for what i have seen, almost nobody passes the SP Lab at the first attempt. But i think we have a good passing rate at the 2nd try. Don't give up and good luck.
