Hello Richard,
I agree with you in that the book does have a few errors in it. However,
I have seen other workbooks with far more errors. I think overall the
benefits of the book far outweigh the minor errors that it does have. I
certainly have learned a few tricks myself from doing this book. As for
the errors you have pointed out, since I have done all the labs, I can
comment on all of what I have noticed so far. Finally, please put these
errors that you notice on my solution forum, so that others that are
doing the labs can be aware of the errors as well in advanced. Also make
sure that when you do the book you read all the sections not only do the
lab, but after finished you go and read the ask the proctor section and
the lab debrief and the appendix, you will find many pearls of wisdom
and advice in these sections.
See for example in page 384 when he wants EIGRP to filter the network
50.5.5.0/24. The author uses access-list 50.5.5.0 0.0.0.255 when it is
more correct to use 50.5.5.0 0.0.0.0 I have configured it via the acl
in the book and it filtered worked out ok. So I cannot say that I see
this being an error in the book.
On the question regarding eigrp bandwidth, the questions asks for a
"minimum bandwidth". The command "ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 70"
reserves a maximum bandwidth which means another solution would be " ip
bandwidth-percent eigrp 100".
EIGRP will use up to 50 percent of the bandwidth of a link, as defined
by the bandwidth interface configuration command. This command may be
used if some other fraction of the bandwidth is desired. Note that
values greater than 100 percent may be configured.
So I agree with you in that the answer in the book is a maximum that it
will use. So the question may have been misworded and another error in
the book I agree.
On your other question:
In page 382, he says "we need ... network 160.10.0.0" when it is
absolutely not needed at all ! The redistribution will do the work,
I agree with you here it is not needed because you have redistribution.

Thank you for the offer John.
As for the book, it is very good yes. But I have only made one scenario
(not even finished) and have found several errors. See for example in
page 384 when he wants EIGRP to filter the network 50.5.5.0/24. The
author uses access-list 50.5.5.0 0.0.0.255 when it is more correct to
use 50.5.5.0 0.0.0.0.
On the question regarding eigrp bandwidth, the questions asks for a
"minimum bandwidth". The command "ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 70"
reserves a maximum bandwidth which means another solution would be " ip
bandwidth-percent eigrp 100".
In page 382, he says "we need ... network 160.10.0.0" when it is
absolutely not needed at all ! The redistribution will do the work,
I a thinking it might be a good idea that I suscribe in your forum to
discuss this ...

Hello Richard,
I have configured with and without the broadcast keyword as you have
mentioned. I really have not noticed a difference. One could argue that
it uses unnecessary bandwidth in the real world. However, there are
many lab vendor books that due use the broadcast keyword. The point
being is that this book has so many valuable tools and lessons learned.
I think by going through the labs and going through the entire book, you
will find that it is of the highest quality. There are other minor
errors with the book, I was just making overall assessment when I posted
this email. Again, I really love this book. I think it is the best
resource available, and if you need rack time I am offering my rack and
forum area for support.

One thing I have noticed is that the author configure "broadcast" in the
frame-relay map's between spokes in a frame-relay hub and spoke
scenario. I am not sure this is good practice and we all know that
broadcasts are not forwarded by the hub and it therefore does not make
sense,
