That would be the idea: if you cannot find it on the web site's exam content list, it just might not be on test anymore. Pay careful attention to what IS on that list, that is not in the official review books. You will need some research and self-study to be prepared in those areas. Malcolm

I think I have reached my 'rule' actually. In a normal situation, I would want the Internet ASBRs injecting default routes on area 0, as that is where everything is passing through anyway. This assumes a 'clean' environment where the only things being routed in the OSPF AS are private addresses.

Normally you would want to fix the ports on connections you know will not change, like trunks, routers, servers, etc. You do have to watch out for vendor implementations however. When troubleshooting issues with an IBM 2216 router (think 7507 with CIP) I found a tech note from IBM stating that
