Brian,

I had exactly the same problem as you. I did the lab, and then found the
solution highly incomplete. I sent a mail to fat kid about it. However, I
dont feel too bad. Fat Kid has a lot of great labs, they are all free , and
even if there weren't any solutions posted I would still have learnt a lot.

My comments with the lab were:

Q. 5 says that 4.11 servers should use NLSP only, 3.12 servers should use
NLSP and RIP. The solution shows R2 and R4 with E0.1 and E0.2.
E0.1 (SAP) is configured for NLSP and RIP since RIP hasn't been explicitly
disabled with the 'ipx nlsp area2 rip off' command.
E0.2 (Novell ether) however is only configured for RIP.

I think to answer question 5 you should use the following for R2 and similar
for R4

interface Ethernet0.1
ipx encapsulation SAP
ipx network AAAA03
ipx nlsp area2 enable
ipx nlsp area2 rip off
!
interface Ethernet0.2
ipx network AAAA04
ipx nlsp area2 enable
!

Q.8 / Q.14

I am guessing that q14 should reference networks 12341100 and 12342200
instead of 1234110 and 1234220.
However we are generating summaries between area1 and area2. As such R2 sees
the summary route 12340000 FFFF0000, and doesn't see the explicit routes
12341100 and 12342200, so the filter on R2 has no effect anyway.

Q10 talks about supporting EIGRP broadcast updates. What does this mean ?
Does it mean the segment only supports normal periodic SAP updates (ie use
'no ipx sap-incremental eigrp 1) . And how do you disable querying of the
backup server ? I can only find a way of extending the timer between
queries.

Q.11 I dont see any change of the default MTU in the solution.

Q.12 seems to imply the need for the command:

 ipx gns-response-delay 500

but again no sign of it in the solution

Q.13 no sign of any filter on R4 in the solution.

Q.15 no sign of any filter on R1 in the solution.

Regards

Mark
