Most of the labs I have seen, usually specify, somewhere, which routing protocol to add the subnet to. Read it very closely, it will say somewhere
To advertise this network , it may not be specific..you may see scenarios where you have to use NAT or even ODR (rare). Give us an example
Scenario...or lab you are working on. Whoever you purchased the lab through should be able to provide clarification, but we would like the
challenge just as well...

I am pretty sure a great deal of the people on this mailing list, have done just about every lab out there...

Now about your interfaces, the safe way to do things (My thinking ) I usually create a route-map and "match interface " -this is safe and easy for me, especially when I have a box running multiple protocols, or advertising different connected subnets to 1 or more protocols...I could get
congested with that, but you get the idea...Some people like to create access-lists instead -I prefer route-maps.

Subject: Best time to test complete connectivity?

Group,
    In many of the labs I'm working on I've noticed that several interfaces or address range are not explicitly identify for redistribution into any give protocol. My question is this: When is the best time to go back and start adding these interfaces into your IGPs? Or perhaps you should wait until you've completed your EGPs as well.

Extraneous interface additions are problematic, especially when they are numerous. Is there any consensus on when to do this?

Thanks,
Alsontra
