When you use the sync yes option in the event cli command, the EEM applet runs before the CLI command is executed. The EEM applet should set the _exit_status variable to indicate whether the CLI command should be executed (_exit_status set to one) or not (_exit_status set to zero). A sample applet using the _exit_status variable in described in my “Schedule reload before configuring the router” post. With the sync no option, the EEM applet is executed in background in parallel with the CLI command. As the CLI command starts at the same time as the EEM applet, you cannot use the _exit_status variable anymore; you have to specify whether you want the CLI command to execute with the skip yes|no option of the event cli command. A sample applet using sync no skip yes options is described in my “Can you disable the reload command?” post. original post http://blog.ioshints.info/2011/01/eem-event-cli-command-options-and.html

it's part of the new r&s lab. Some of the examples looks very useful http://www.ine.com/petr/IEWB-RS-VOL-I-V5.OER.0.01.pdf update: this topic is headache..

important point if you have to do UDP-JITTER SLA: Time synchronization, such as that provided by NTP, is required between the source and the target device in order to provide accurate one-way delay (latency) measurements. To configure NTP on the source and target devices, perform the tasks in the "Performing Basic System Management" chapter of the Cisco IOS Network Manageent Configuration Guide. Time synchronization is not required for the one-way jitter and packet loss measurements, however. If the time is not synchronized between the source and target devices, one-way jitter and packet loss data will be returned, but values of "0" will be returned for the one-way delay measurements provided by the UDP jitter operation. You must configure NTP between the routers you are measuring the jitter (under question, confirming that with the INE guys right now) R5#show ntp as R5#show ntp associations address ref clock st when poll reach delay offset ...

how to push one of the routers in the broadcast ospf segment to be elected as a ABR; it's simple, based on rfc 1587 the only thing you should do is to make more preferable RID (higher RID)

I am quite sure I am able to explain what I think about the social networking and things like facebook but have you think about what would be if networks like linkedin extend their capabilities so you can actually chat with your business network or people interested in the same things as you. So, why facebook ? :) What facebook can offer you if you are looking for pro connections and people with common interests. - my 1 cent thought

Looks like the recommendation from the most of people I asked is to skip the very first labs and jump on 26-35 (the version 4),however, still the very first labs are great in terms of building strong knowledge on things like redistribution,route filtering and troubleshooting. I am about to finish lab 7 and jump to lab 26.
