Ask the proctor. For the IE labs I often have trouble determine where
reachability is needed as sometimes they specify it is not needed to none
BGP routers and other times the redistribution is simply not configured.
Normally in their solution guide they do not have you redistribute the BGP
routes into IGP unless of course a specific task requires it, which often
contradicts the general rules for the lab. As with most ask the proctor
moments I reread the question and try to determine what they are trying to
test. For the workbook it is fine and I think not having them tell you
exactly what to configure all the time in respect to the backbones keeps you
sharp, if I ran into some real ambiguity on a mocklab I would probably be
upset. What mocklab was this? I have taken 1,2,3,5 without any huge issues
although on I think mocklab 3 I did a real simple BGP to IGP redistribution
in a similar situation to yours when it was not needed.
