The best advice is ask the Proctor if you're unsure.
It's been a few years since I did the lab, but I seem to recall not
taking any specific steps to control advertisments to the BB routers
unless asked. I also seem to recall that full reachability was
within your rack, rather than to the BB routers, and that it was not
uncommon (though that may have been workbook scenarios) to use one
routing protocol out to the BB routers, and another to the rest of
your network. In that case, unless you're explicitly asked to
redistribute, I'd be careful.
Having said all that, ask the Proctor,
Thomas
