Hi Shai, The question reads:
7.5 Configure R6 to peer with R8. The R8 router should see AS65000 and AS 65001 as AS6. R8 will be in AS200. Ensure that R6 doesn't install any confederation peer's routes if learned from R8. Do not use distribute-list or prefix-list commands. The question implies through the use of the term "confederation peers" as well as the reference to R8 seeing both AS65000 *and* AS65001 as being in AS6 that confederations should be used. Local-as would change the appearance of AS65001 but not AS65000. Cheers, Jared Scrivener CCIE3 #16983 (R&S, Security, SP), CISSP Technical Instructor - IPexpert, Inc.

Please anyone who could explain this to me .. Thanks Shai.
