360 Chapter 11: Implementing Redistribution and Controlling Routing Updates
Q&A
The questions and scenarios in this book are designed to be challenging and to make sure that you
know the answer. Rather than allowing you to derive the answers from clues hidden inside the
questions themselves, the questions challenge your understanding and recall of the subject.
You can find the answers to these questions in Appendix A. For more practice with exam-like
question formats, use the exam engine on the CD-ROM.
