I think it is quite interesting that you are finding this to have such a big
bearing to real life. My own experience with both the Work Book Scenarios
and the real exam is that they depart a lot from real world practices and
requirements. I have been in the networking Industry for only a short time
(about 10 years only ) butI have worked exclusively with Cisco
Technologies for the past 7 years from simple to complex environments.
Yet the only match I find is in the technologies, but the way I have seen
them applied in real world is different from the way the Lab tested me.
This reminds me of the day of my exam .... I was quite fixed by one specific
question because my mind was still thinking in real life terms. When I went
to the proctor to ask for clarification, he was spot on to read my mind and
his answer to me was " to satisfy this requirement, I would suggest you
forget real world best practices ", and there I got my answer on how to *
correctly* ( in real world this woulbe incorrectly ) configure...
But well, you are finding direct application to real world so perhaps you
have quite unique requirements in your environment.
my 2 pence worth
