PinGorilla,
I assure you that we verified everyone of these labs on gradelabs equipment and were able to reproduce the details provided in the solution guide. I personally just verified each lab up to 8.15 in order to try to make sure an error wasn't introduced during any of the subsequent revisions.
Many of the labs had issues and those where corrected in the initial revison of this chapter. The solutions in the workbook were copied and pasted from the routers themselves, only the ip addressess where changed so that each would show command and addresses referencing Rack1.
If you would care to provide us with some constructive input we will do what we can to help you.
"Jacked up" conveys your frustration, and we are here to help, but its not empirically helpful.
