I'm getting a little confused on how to deal with backbone subnets. In the
labs I'm doing sometimes they ask for you to advertise them via an IGP.
Sometimes they don't ask explicit or implicit to advertise the backbone
subnets. They just do it in a way that seems arbitrary to me. I'm told to
follow instructions and to not do extra configuration, but from where I sit
sometimes there no way to make the lab work without extra configuration thats
not asked for. So my question is do I advertise the the backbone subnets
always or is this vendors labs playing a little fast and lose with the rules,
and I should not worry about it, because I will be told explicitley which
networks to advertise. Yes I realize there could be implicit directions,but
the cases I'm talking about there is no explicit or implicit direction to
advertise the backbone subnets, but I look in the SG and there it is in some
form or another. For all I know there is some implicit direction in the lab
that says to not advertise the BB subnets to the rest of the network.
Any input would be appreciated
