Yes - remember to read the task very carefully and consider all of your
possible options. You hope the task is written well and provides you the
clues to exactly what they are looking for. If the task is not doing
this and you have several options that still apply - it might be worth
speaking to the proctor.
Here are a couple of examples:
EIGRP
3.2 (2 points)
Configure EIGRP on R1, R3, and R4 per the provided diagram.
My Solution: I use whatever method I want to get the job done most
efficiently. If there are interfaces left out of EIGRP in the diagram, I
ensure they are not in EIGRP. I preferred the network x.x.x.x 0.0.0.0
approach for configuring EIGRP on specific interfaces.
3.2 (2 points)
Configure EIGRP on R1, R3, and R4 per the provided diagram. Do not use a
wildcard mask in any network statement.
My Solution: Now it really starts to look like passive-interface.
3.2 (2 points)
Configure EIGRP on R1, R3, and R4 per the provided diagram. Do not use a
wildcard mask in any network statement. Ensure that Serial 0/0 of R1
does not send any updates to R4. Do not use the passive-interface
command in your configuration.
My Solution: I start examining route filtering techniques such as a
distribute list.
As far as speaking to the proctor goes - the most common phrase I ever
heard back was "Please reread the question and make a configuration that
satisfies the requirement."
What is the proctor telling you (provided that they actually stood there
and READ the task)? They are saying that the wording does indeed point
you in the correct direction.
If you are worried that there are two (or more) totally valid approaches
- tell the proctor that you are concerned and tell them the two
approaches you have in mind. They will typically give an indication as
to whether they agree that there are multiple acceptable approaches. Do
they in fact know off the top of their head how the grading script will
attack this task - maybe - maybe not - but at least there is a chance
they know.
Speaking of the grading script - think yourself about how it would be
constructed. If you have a task that just says - no routes from this
interface and nothing more - certainly the grading script is just
looking to ensure the routes are not there. The script could CARE LESS
how you did it.

Be carefull. When it's said, configure eigrp 100 not to send out over
other interfaces, then it could
be meant to configure passive interface, even it's not directly needed.
