In the solution guide, a route-map is configured on R4 to filter the RIP summary routes from getting redistributed into OSPF. This prevents suboptimal routing. I was wondering if this route-map is really needed to fulfil the question, since the question does not require us to account for suboptimal routing. Also, in other questions suboptimal routing is acceptable, as long as the requirements of the questions are met. So, I am just confused on whether to account for routing optimization for the lab exam even though it may not be explicitly asked for. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
