All-
I have a few questions or clarifications I wanted to throw out to the
list from lab 1. I'm looking for feedback or comments.
section 2.2
Ensure only the types of LSA propagated within OSPF area 2 are type 1,
2, and 3.
The answer key indicates that area 2 should be totally stubby area (use
no-summary on ABR). Doesn't a stub area also meet the requirements?
-------------
section 2.2
Ensure that no host routes are propagated throughout the network at this
point of the lab.
The virtual-template and virtual-access interface /32 routes are not
propagated. They are just in the routing table as connected on R1, R4,
and R6.
Without the 'no peer neighbor' statement, if you go to R6, it sees
10.100.101.2/32 (attached) and 10.100.100.0 255.255.255.240 (via R4).
Doesn't this meet the "not propagating host routes" requirement? Without
using the 'no peer neighbor' statement, the lab already doesn't
propagate the 10.100.101.2/32 from R6 to anywhere just like it doesn't
propagate the /32 from R4 or R1 point to point interfaces.
I guess the question is, how are the /32 host routes considered
propagated propagated by any router when they are directly connected? I
could see if the requirement was to ensure that no host routes were in
the routing table.....? Did anyone else have this same
understanding/confusion as I did?
