There aren't penalties for over-configuration if that's what you are asking.
(As long as you don't violate a rule saying "don't do that"!)

When I teach, one of the things we go over is TCL scripting and talking
about building your list of IP addresses to reach. When all is said and
done, you should go to every router and ping every other IP address. There
may be some that are not successful for a variety of reasons, but you should
be able to explain what those reasons are and they should make sense.

If you find yourself making excuses for why an IP can't be pinged, you
probably didn't do all the steps you need to! :)

Also, if you check out Lab 40 from the 8.1 version of our workbook/proctor
guide, the walkthrough on the solutions for that lab goes through some of
the "thought process" for doing things like that and checking your work to
make sure nothing is left behind. (Other labs do this as well, but I know
the verbage on that lab 'cause I wrote it (grin))

Scott -

So, are you saying that you can add redistribution....if they don't tell you
not to? Shouldn't the scenario provide everything you need for full
reachability, without adding something that is not specifically requested?

You are not graded on optimal routing, unless the lab says so.

You are graded on full reachability (generally) based on lab requirements.
So just read, and this will answer your question.

Like I always tell students, the lab MAY explicitly tell you some
redistribution to do, but that may not be the ONLY redistribution, just the
ones they care about exactly where you do something!

I think I keep asking the same question but a recent post from some other
member made me think about this:

In the real exam:

1. If a few of the loopbacks or networks are not explicitly told to be
announced. And if I don't do this. What will happen. (Ok in this case I will
ask to the proctor). But what is the scoring approach here. Even if I do
whatever asked in all of the question can I still loose some points because
there is no full connectivity ??? How many points should I expect to loose
for this (whole lab ?) :)

2. Similar question, let's say if I have some suboptimal routing (but no
loops or flapping). All requirements are satisfied, full reachability exists
but will I get some lost of points due to that ?

Am I getting too paronoid ?
