Don't forget the memory requirements for soft inbound. I know of someone
whose router crapped out b/c of lack of memory when he did a soft inbound
reset. Good thing it was just a lab router.

You're right, it does make it faster. But I wonder if proctors would have a
problem if we configure something that was not specifically asked.

I guess this is half a tip / half a question...

I find that when doing BGP stuff, I always enable inbound soft config on
all peerings in my lab. This doesn't affect the routing tables or the
ability to get any particular scenario configured, but it makes it much
quicker for me to test my changes.

Above is the "tip" portion of this message... Now for the question... if
the lab instructions don't specifically say not to use
soft-reconfiguration inbound, does anybody see a problem with enabling
it? I'd think of it much along the same lines as creating an alias for
show ip route...
