Hello,
I was thinking about a loopback addressing atategy for the lab and wondered
whether others had developed a specific plan. I consider loopbacks essential
for OPSF adjacency development, BGP internal peering sessions,and probably for
the introduction of network segments into the configuration.
I think it would be nice to create loopbacks that identify the router of
origin, For example 1.1.1.1 for router 1, 2.2.2.2 for router 2 etc.
As any OSPF RIDs would be altered by addition of higher numbered loopback
addresses, is there a strategy the anticipates this?
Although real-world practice may be to use loopbacks to source BGP updates for
IBGP, does anyone see any problems with using physical interfaces in the lab
environment?
Anything else I am missing here?
Thanks,
Curtis
