Tillywood is one of the major movie studios located in Tilburg, The Netherlands. You are working there as a junior network engineer and assigned at the BGP team. One of the trainees has configured part of the network which has a transit AS but he has trouble sending packets between AS 1 and AS 3. Can you show him how it's done?

Hi Rene,
On the final part of this task, you redistributed OSPF....and explained the precaution against it.
I actually made a static route for the unknown routes On either side.
(192.168.12.x and 192.168.56.x)
I am wondering if this was okay for the task. It worked.

Hi Mark,
Using static routes will work and most of the times using a static route will fix any problem. The downside of this solution is that it's not "dynamic". If anything happens to your topology (router or link failure) a dynamic routing protocol can recover from this.
Static routes will stay in your config with the risk of "blackholing" traffic.
So yes it'll work, but it's not the best solution.
I also applied static on Bullock and Roberts, that resolved the issue. I also tested the other method of advertising the only the needed routes with bgp and that fixed the issue. So there are multiple approaches to fixing the problem.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
