Re: Bridging or PPPoFR ?

If you can do bridging without violating any of the other lab constraints,
then that's fine; however, all the labs I've looked at where they ask for
multiple IPs in a hub/spoke topology (or in your case none on the multipoint
int) were resolved with ppp. It can be made more obvious if a future task
asks for authentication, for instance. If you assign an IP address to a
virtual-template, that most certainly is not assigning it to the multipoint
and everyone is happy.

The solution is only a guide - not necessarily the only way to solve the
task. Sometimes they do give you a simple way to make a task happy though
:D
