They may have you set up broadcast because they may have designed certain
gotcha's later on in the lab that are dependant on you haveing configured ip
ospf network type as broadcast. If they did, and you configured ip ospf
network multipoint, you may have missed the opportunity to learn from a
gotcha or caveat they designed that scenario or a certain task for. But a
cursory look at my IPExpert books seems to indicate that the first labs are
pretty basic, kinda like a review with no real gotcha's or protocol mixes so
maybe not.

Subject: Opinions on IPexpert labs, with emphasis on the free lab on
fatkid.com?
I have been working on the free lab that IPExpert provides on
Fatkid.com. Theres a lot to do in four hours. This kind of lab makes
me realize how far from ready I am, and they dont even get into some of
the really detailed stuff that we explore here (like filtering dlsws
various tcp ports).
I notice that in their solution they use ip ospf network broadcast for
their frame relay subinterfaces on the fully-meshed fr cloud. I used ip
ospf network point-to-multipoint, and it works fine. Is there any
reason why one way would be correct and the other would be incorrect?
One annoying feature of this lab is that once you configure the snmp
stuff, you get errors about not being able to open a connection to the
snmp server (because there isnt one). I guess I need to set up a snmp
server sometime to practice on, anyway.
Please share you opinions or thoughts on this lab and other Ipexpert
labs.
