Hi Net,

"distribute-list out" IS allowed under your OSPF process IF your device is
an ASBR (meaning that your OSPF router is also running another routing
protocol). I would try your test again, but use an ASBR this time.
Knowning the nuances of distribute lists is hugely fundamental in lab
prep'. Although distribute-list out in OSPF isn't really too common, I'd
make sure you're comfortable with it.
