Re: Broadcast keyword in FR Hub & Spoke

I personally recommend NOT to use the "Broadcast" keyword at all when
configuring the frame-relay section, unless the task in the
*frame-relay*section specifically asks for that keyword.

Since I do not recommend flipping between sections, there is no way to know
what will be asked from you in the future tasks, as you mentioned, what if
OSPF is to be configured in a non-broadcast network type? Now.. you have to
remember to go back and take that keyword off.

I do not recommend adding extra commands if they are not needed, that can
become a real bad habbit.
