I worked on this lab about a week ago. I seem to recall that the r1-r4 OSPF
connection needed no assistance because they were on a point-to-point link.
The multipoint routers needed the neighbor statements.

I concluded the SNA bridging was just regular transparent bridging over the
frame cloud. This way you could meet the second requirement of the root
bridge issue. I thought this was very poorly worded (worse than the CCIE
lab lol) and should read something more like 'Transparently bridge all
non-routable protocols'. The reference to SNA throws the reader into
thinking about RSRB or DLSW -but maybe that's what they are trying to do...
