Hello Andrew,
First of all I don't think this is lab 1 because there is no ospf
configuration in Lab 1, I am pretty sure what you mean is LAB 2 please
correct me if I am wrong. Now as for the first task, the reason it is a
totally stubby area is because if you just use a stub area there will be
no default route (IA route), if you use a totally stubby area that will
make sure that the other side of the totally stubby area can reach
external networks, with a default route being advertised as a single
(IA) route. As far as the second task you mentioned. Ensure that no host
routes are propagated, the answer is using no peer neighbor route, and
ip ospf network point-to-point on the loopbacks. Please make sure you
lab this scenario out. The book is not nearly as valuable, unless you
actually implement these labs. If you need rack to practice, I am giving
free access to my rack.

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?

Andy
