I think it is best to figure out what phase you are in with
understanding redistribution. Early on the best way to do
redistribution is to just do the redistribution without any real attempt
at loop prevention, then solve all the loops that come up. It takes
longer, but it really lets you figure out how the redistribution gotchas
work. Later as you do more labs and get better, the right method for
eliminating loops and including connected interfaces just pops right out
at you, which is the stage Dale is at. The IE CODs are really good for
this also. 20 minutes is easily doable, but only after practise. If
you are on Lab 3 then I wouldn't worry about it yet.
