The task itself is a great example of doing crazy things in the lab just because you can. The task itself is asinine but remember, it is not about efficiency it is about making it work. The point of the task is not to advertise in the networks though. The point of the task is to make sure you are ready for any additional routers that come online in those subnets. Siimply redistributing your secondary addresses in will not accomplish what the task wants. You need to actually run RIP on those subnets which is why the task is done the way that it is.
