the rule of thumb is do what they say, but if something is not expressly forbidden, it is fair game.
the idea that some successful Lab takers all tend to agree on, is that going into the Lab you want to have a lot of tools at your disposal. So you can filter redistribution using route tagging, or distribute lists or route maps, for example. the Lab is notorious for presenting you with some underhanded or devious requirement, one which is inside out from the way you might normally do things. after two times through, I am also under the impression that there comes a point where the CCIE Lab designers realize that something is being analyzed to death in the study materials and newsgroups, so they take it out, and put in something else. I have study materials that emphasized things like gateway discovery protocol, and other obscure things. I presume a lot of this kind of stuff shows up in the study materials because of loose lips. to get back to your question, your Lab book will present you with a general instruction that will say something like "do not do A, B, or C, unless otherwise instructed" Then a particular requirement might say "you may do C to accomplish this" or "do not do X to accomplish this" In the case of the particular practice lab, the instruction was "do not use the default-network command" which got me to wondering what are some other ways to get a default network into IGRP. Can't use quad zero. can't use a default network. policy routing, and in particular local-policy was the only other thing I could come up with. and it is a real hack. or rather, it can take some real planning.

I agree that in some cases of VLSM/FLSM redistributions, it may be required and may be asked for as well. So using a glorified "default/static" route in the form of policy route wouldnt be a violation, would it ?
