This is true, but I would imagine if they asked you to do this in the lab,
they would have to provide you with a way to accomplish it. Either they
would allow you to run an IGP, you would be allowed to use statics, or you
would be allowed to use multilink and peer using the directly connected
interface addresses.

But if the routeis rewritten with the loopback address
of the neighbor, how R1 and R2 can get each other.
Because static route is not allowed in LAB.
So, R1 has no idea how to get 2.2.2.0/24. Is IGP
required to run on the links between AS100 and AS200?
But Does it make sense to run IGP between ASs?
