Requirement for full IP reachability in lab

Hi all,

I've been doing labs from IEWB vol 2, ver 5.0 and a couple of times I've
gotten stuck between the generic requirement statement at the start of the
lab vs what the tasks ask me to do. In these labs, there is a statement in
the lab exam instructions section indicating that full IP reachability is
expected unless otherwise indicated. I read this to mean "by default, your
goal is full reachability - unless we explicitly tell you not to".

However when doing the lab tasks, I've found that when the tasks are
completed and put together they only set up partial reachability in the
topology.

So my question is this -
are we supposed to aim to get full reachability every time (unless
explicitly told not to), potentially having to do extra configuration work
above the actual wording of the tasks,

OR

do we work so far as the tasks ask us to and potentially not have full
reachability?

Kind regards,
Gavin
