Yeah, I can see it quickly becoming a slippery slope in the actual lab.
Seems the consensus is pretty much that static mroutes aren't static routes
and it also seems that a decent proctor would not leave you hanging on this.
If you demonstrate that you know what's going on under the hood and you just
need to know the rules of the game being played, I would hope they would be
willing to clarify that. If not, as you say, I would probably evaluate net
point loss/gain and act accordingly...

I would be very careful with taking this path though because you may change
things that you did earlier in IGP/BGP which may lead you to break things
you previously would have had points for!
If you get an answer from a proctor, make sure it's VERY specific if you
believe that mroutes aren't allowed either as it may simply be a
misunderstanding of functionality.
You have another alternative, of course, although it's not technically part
of the blueprint. :) The multicast address-family within MBGP will
accomplish the same thing on a dynamic basis as static mroutes do.
HTH,
Scott

Hey Alex,
I skipped ahead to the mcast section of the CoD I'm doing so I can get my
head into that topic area before the study group tonight. According to the
Brians, this is a proctor-worthy clarification to seek.
BTW, if the answer is given and it's that "no static routes encompasses
static mroutes," then you simply manipulate your unicast IGP to achieve the
RPF you desire.
Regards,
Scott

Sorry just another quick one.
I asked a guy this morning and was told no but thought I would ask anyway.
Does the "no static routes allowed" include mroutes does anyone know?
It would be nice if you could J
