RE: BGP no sync and Bootcamp Labs

If I'm understanding no sync correctly your only other option is that you
redistribute your entire IGP into BGP, leaving you with a very messy routing
table. I view no sync as a good way of keeping your routes neat. I don't think
that not using it is practical or advised, although I have been told many a tim
e
that it is on by default for a reason.

Subject: BGP no sync and Bootcamp
Labs

Just finished my first run through Bootcamp Lab #6. Not a very tough
one

anymore if you skip the protocols that are irrelevant to today's lab...
To

shake things up a bit, I decided to try to get the BGP configs all
working

without using the no sync command (I know that it wasn't outlawed in
the

lab.)

Well I had a terrible time of this. I admit, BGP is a weak area for me,
and

I likely won't be doing anymore Bootcamp labs until I polish my BGP
core

knowledge. Has anyone else done these labs leaving syncronization enabled?
I

could get about half my routes into the routing table, but the other half
I

just couldn't.

I know it's been brought up before, but if the odds are that the lab
is

going to outlaw the "no sync" command, why do so many people turn it on
when

doing scenarios?

That's my thought of the day...
