I agree with adding RIP, but this is something I'm a little annoyed about. I know that classful-to-classless redistribution is something the IE loves to hammer, and that's great'n all, but the techniques for dealing with it are documented enough now that it isn't the headache it once was. I'm all for Cisco removing IGRP from the lab, but I really don't see the need to test classful/classless redistribution either. I mean, you have to look pretty hard to find a router that doesn't support ripv2... even the dinky little linksys routers will run version 2. I like the fact that they're challenging us with mroe current technology rather than dinosaurs of routing protocols, I just hope they didn't go through all the labs and do a find and replace job to substitute ripv1 for igrp.
