I just finished the RIP lab and got killed on my debugs because of the number of updates coming from the BB router.
I know it's best to ensure you can telnet to the router on which you are doing the debug so you can turn it off if need be, but how about shutting down the interface to the Cisco BB router during the lab while initially configuring your routing protocols to ensure your changes are taking affect more easily, and then once complete turning up the interface pointing to the BB up. Just a thought. Rich
