Ivan,

From your response, we both have the same understanding, agreed
distribute-list will not stop the announcement of the route, but ACL will
not also stop the announcement. The only thing that will stop the
announcement/advertisement is appyling a passive interface on the BB router
doing the annoucement/advertisement, but this is beyond our reach in the
lab. So, all we can do is to stop the announcement/advertisement/updates
from entering the FIB on R4.

Having said that, your approach is, stop and search all traffics at the
interface and if they are rip traffic (udp 520) drop them at the interface.
The original poster's approach is, why disturb every traffic coming into R4
for a problem that can be resolved within the specific technology (RIP),
apply a distribute-list and prevent RIP updates from that interface from
getting into the FIB.

Remember that, the problem here is RIP updates, first look for a RIP
solution and when that is not possible either due to restrictions in place
or other prevailing circumstances, then other more broader approach can be
taken.

If faced with a task like this either in the exam or in my production
network, ACL will be part of my arsenal, but it will not be my ammunition of
choice to be used. Why use a Scud missile when an AK45 will take care of the
problem?
