Re: Lab task - use option discussed in RFC XYZ

Based on the section the task is a part of, OSPF I would go to the OSPF
config guide
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/iproute/configuration/guide/irp_ospf_cfg_
ps6350_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html

Search for RFC1587 - no hits. Then I would try RFC 1587 and I got a hit =
Not
so stubby area (NSSA)RFC 1587

Now if neither of those searches produced a result, I would go to the
command reference for OSPF and do a search there:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/iproute/command/reference/irp_osp1.html

Does anyone know if I can download the PDF's during the lab? For example the
Cisco IOS IP Routing Protocols Configuration Guide, Release 12.4 complete
PDF so I can do broad search versus maneuvering through the links wasting a
lot of time.
