So long as the requirements are met completely it really doesn't matter how
you get there. Most of the tasks want an end result, whether that mean
connectivity, restricting certain commands, etc but there usually won't be
something that restricts using commands and then removing them. Another
example is using NBAR temporarily to get certain protocol information or
debugs to see what a peer's AS might be.

Subject: Manually pruning trunks on links faster way?
Just curious if anyone has encountered a task that requires you to turn all
the switches to transparent mode. Then it asks you to manually prune all
the links manually to reduce broadcast traffic. It takes a while to draw
out a layer 2 drawing and manually allow the VLANs on the trunks.
Instead of that way, I first had all the switches in server mode and turned
on pruning. Once I let the switches do the work, I manually allowed the
vlans on the trunks that pruning allows. Finally just convert all the
switches back to transparent. Anybody seen any problem with this method?
Thanks,
Dale
