Simulation question

I took the 630-801 exam this week and I failed, here is what seemed to be the problem. I was working on a simulation with five routers. Four were internal and on was the ISP, the interface to the ISP was a serial interface s1/0. There were some no shut commands that had to be run on a few of the interfaces, however when I attempted to access the s1/0 interface I was not able access it. I kept getting the ^ under the 1 of s1/0. I ran the sh interface command and it showed the interface there. I was able to access the s0/0 and s0/1, any ideas on what the issue is. I thought afterwards that maybe I should have done a reload on the router.

The problem is us: why in heck we should spend the money on cisco? Cisco is clearly greedy for money: not only the exam interface sucks, and many commands are not available, but you have to answer everything is such a time pressure (blitz) that is unbeilivable! If you succeed you are not done yet: you just signed a contract to pay cisco again and again and again.

Well, to access an interface you type Int s0 or int s1. You do not type int s0/1 or s1/0 and you do not type the letter o but the number 0. Sometimes, you might need to put a space between s and the number 0 or 1, i.e.: int s 0 or int s 1. Sorry if this might sound silly to you, but that's what i can think of.

Very few routers, only the old fixed configuration type (ie 2500 series) use s0 or s1. The vast majority of routers out there use s/ (ie s0/1 s1/0 s1/0/1). Don't get your mindset to thinking to only the 2500 series...there's a whole heck of a lot more out there.

To the OP. It most likely simply wasn't a interface used in the sim or perhaps a typo in the sim.

Thanks for the feedback. In some cisco labs I dealt with s0/1 s1/0 type, mostly in load balancing.
