I love your interpretation - I think it would mean "bring the prefix
into the protocol".

There will be rules mentioned in the lab manual before any specific
sections. These "global rules" cannot be violated. As you will see in
most practice labs, static routes are not permitted as part of the
global rules (unless an exception is mentioned in a specific task).

So, typically, you cannot use a static route. Now you need to think of
the other ways to advertise the prefix - network statement,
redistribution, etc.

When faced with multiple options, always try and keep it simple. Often
times, we see "ghosts in the machine" - thinking the task is much harder
than it actually is.

Hi group,

This may be a dumb question but I will ask anyway. :)

If a requirement/task/question uses the term "advertise", as in
advertise the loopback into area x, for example. Does "advertise" in
this case mean use any means necessary to get the address/prefix into
the protocol (network statement, redistribute, etc)? Obviously if there
are restrictions in the lab, it limits the scope. I was just wondering
if there is a right or wrong interpretation of this term when there are
no restrictions. I interpret it as bring the prefix into the routing
protocol. Maybe this is a proctor question if it comes up?

Jason
