Kinton,

I'll try your to make it into stub area as well as filter out the
redistribution traffic to see if it works. Thanks

Also, the snapshot on lab7, the lab require to configure snapshot and
also test out the backup using ISDN line when the serial line is down.
Correct me if I am wrong, it is not possible to configure snapshot on
the ISDN line as well as using it as the backup line (using backup
command on the serial line) at the same time, right? I noticed that if
backup line is in standby mode, even if there is an interesting packet
that permit to trigger the line to go up, the ISDN will still stay
down. I have been fighting with snapshot and backup for the whole day.
