Re: Frustrated with Lab 2 Task 4.11

On my first go at Vol II, I remember spending 3 days (over 10 hours) on
this. Reading the solution guide and understanding nothing.
On my second go after more than 15 labs with redistribution tasks and having
a grip on all techniques such as admin distance manipulation, tagging or
metric manipulation, the solution just comes to you.

Read about redistribution in Wendel Odom and would advise to watch the
redistribution CoD's in Internetwork Expert over and over again and keep
practicing with "*debug ip routing" *enabled.
