Hi James,
I think that even if the neighbor command is configured in RIP, broadcasts
are still send so the passive interface command needs to be used in
conjunction with the neighbor command (I have to lab this up again to double
check). Without the passive interface, the router will send unicast updates
and broadcast updates.
With regard to reading into the questions, I tend to read too much into them
at times and come up with a more complicated solution than was required.
Anyone i've spoken to has just advised to talk to the proctor throughout the
day with the usual caveat that you have to let them know that you aren't
looking for the answer but just some clarification, but as you say, one
proctor's interpretation may be different than another proctor. I would
assume that there are solutions guides to the labs but this may be a wrong
assumption.
Regards,
Pete
