Scott,

It's lab 2 obviously the redistribution part specifically ripv2 and ospf on
SW1. This is the one command I could make no sense of. So I ass|u|me that
I'm missing something. The other issue might be is that one of the BB
routers is connected to the rip domain, which presents it''s own problems on
IE racks. Since I may or may not get connectivity to any BB router, and
have no access to them.
