I started to go through Advanced Foundation 3 and got frustrated. I think I will need to use INE rack rentals for these. I spent wayyy too much time troubleshooting issues with versions and/or virtualization issues that weren't part of the lab...
Completed INE Advanced Foundation Lab 2
I am exhausted so I will grade it tomorrow, but I believe the score would/will be "pass" based on the configs alone. However, it took me almost 9 hours to complete... so... ouch

Looks like I missed yesterday but it was about a dozen labs and 100 flash cards...
Completed the first INE Advanced Foundations lab! Got a passing score I would suppose, but it took over 3 hours and the topology only included 14 devices...
Configuration Flash Cards
I will start tracking these since they are taking up a good chunk of my time. Basically I have a deck of "configuration drills" that I do for speed/accuracy.

Solution
1) Explain why it is happening
R1 and R2 are the route reflectors, and both routers are going to choose the directly connected External route as the "best path". They pass this information on to routers 4 and 3, respectively. Now each of these routers sees the best path as being through their own Route reflector, but they must forward to each other to get there. This causes the packets to "bounce back and forth" forever.
2) Fix it (no tunnels/static routes)
On all interfaces facing other routers in AS 100: "mpls ip"
That's it!
3) Explain your fix
After MPLS has been enabled, R3 and R4 will use the labels to label-switch to the next hop instead of looking up the destination in their respective RIBs. This causes a tunnel-like effect, since R3 and R4 will only look at the labels as the packet passes through them.
