Hi Darby,
Classic question again ;)
I have rip that advertises updates via unicast, and ospf via multicast on the same link. Do I need bcast keyword? I sure do! Does it violate rip task requirements (only send unicast updates)? No
Do I violate task requirement if ospf is removed, yet I still leave bcast keyword on? I sure don't!
If we put it on while we actually don't need it does not mean we violate the task requirements!

Non-Broadcast...
Broadcast Keyword does what exactly?
Does RIP need it? when?
Does EIGRP need it? when?
Does OSPF need it? when?
Does Multicast need it? when?
Does BGP need it? when? tell me again?
Ask these questions, consider all of your options.
Now you have the basis for a sound conclusion.

Eg one of the common requirements is not to send redundant bcast packets,
yet you have bcast key word for evry Dlci
On the other hand, having that bcast keyword does not violate your given
Rip unicast update task requirements

hi,
by violation, you means like if in igp section task ask to configure rip
and send only unicast update etc? Can you give some examples of violation?

You should consider removing "broadcast" keyword as a part of your
troubleshooting solutions if it BREAKS the connectivity of yr network or if
it violates requirement(s) of one or more tasks. If not, it is safe to leave
as is. CCIE is not a design exam, nor a test of best practice!

Hi,
In lab, if i feel that broadcast key is given unnecessarily in frame-relay
statements so should i consider this as part of troubleshooting task and
remove them ?
Need your comments
