Once you have identified the evil, do the short-version exorcism.
Sprinkle those Deadly Routers with holy water, being sure to drench
the power supply.
You will now demonstrate the unlisted task called Demonstrate How To
Release Magic Smoke from Routers.
Once the Magic Smoke is released, you can adjust the configuration
around remaining connectivity problems. By now, only one IGP will
probably need suffice, so the redistribution demon is dead.
Explain your work to the proctor.
