Thanks for your thoughts Hansang. While I haven't taken the exam I agree
with you that there are engineering standards and I would imagine that
applying these standards will not be penalized in the exam. So my strategy
will be to apply engineering standards and good design principles where ever
possible.

Folks,
While I understand that people are fretting about the smallest detail of
the lab (e.g. what's consider superfluous command...) there are some
definite engineering standards that should be used in the real world. One
of these is "if you redistribute, you need to route-map/distribute-list
what your redistributing." If you don't... sooner or later, you'll
experience rolling blackouts. Just about every book on IGP has examples
of route feedback causing temporary/rolling blackouts. This won't happen
every single time as it's a function of topology and routing protocols in
use. But sooner or later, you will be bitten by this.
So you should ALWAYS use route-maps (I prefer them to distribute-lists) to
control redistribution.
