[OSL | CCIE_RS] WB8.0 3.7 Frame map and Broadcast

[Gavin Lawson]

Q3.7 States Ensure that R5 and R6 can ping each others interfaces, but this configuration should be performed such that R2 does not receive redundant routing updates.   It looks like not adding the broadcast statement to the static maps is the answer, BUT I am a bit confused since no routing protocol is actually configured. Can any one help?   What does this command actually do on the layer 2 basis? Does it just tell higher level protocols to treat it as a broadcast interface instead of a NBMA?   Can someone give an example of how a packet flow would change when having, then not having the broadcast key word?   GL
