Re: Lab task - use option discussed in RFC XYZ

I remember getting this on a practice lab as well. The best thing to do in
my opinion with this sort of thing is immediately hit the command-reference
for the technology and do a find for the number of the RFC. For instance,
in this case, I would go to the IP routing command reference guide,to the
OSPF commands and search for "1587". If that does not work, try the ip
routing configuration-guide under OSPF. I have had good success with this
method.
