Cagri,

I thought that policy routing (like static routes) is forbiden on lab exam,
except if explicitly alowed in the task.

Subject: Doing the solution using some other way

Ok, quick one, a VLAN accesible via two routes. One via OSPF area 0 second
area 1. My router is in area 0 so that route is always preferred as it is
intra-area. Question asks the traffic should be routed through the area 1,
inter-area.

After thinking for a while I implemented policy routing (to set next-hop)
doing exactly what was being asked for.

When I go through the answers I see that the use of a virtual link to bring
area 0 downstream is the answer. (This is from IE)

1. Was my answer acceptable at all ?

2. Although policy-routing is not the most elegant way, virtual links are
also always said to be used as a temporary measure in case of problems, so a
virtual-link is also not a best practice. However, since I have seen this
question on the OSPF section should I have been thinking about a solution
within OSPF technology ?

3. If I have a similar question on the real exam, is it a valid question to
ask Proctor ?

4. On IE labs I am coming accross many questions asking like traffic from
VLAN5 to VLAN7 should follow this route. But there are many other traffic
following the same route. IE's answer is always routing all the traffic
through the specified route rather than filtering specified subnets. Would
this be the correct approach at the exam ? Again is this an ok question to
ask Proctor ?

Thanks a lot
