Happy 226th Birthday to those current and aspiring Marine CCIEs. I have
talked to several on this list.

WRT the IPX issue:

A quicker and better way of configuring IPX in your network is to use the
"ipx routing xxxx.xxxx.xxxx" command. For example when configuring your
ccie lab router 2 for IPX, the first step is for example "ipx routing
0000.2222.0000". FR maps, access lists, IPX pings etc can be implimeted
very quickly.

Similarly, when configuring NLSP, do the following for R4 "ipx
internal-network 00004444"

Using zero's as well as intuitive numbers for this config prevents you
having to spend troubleshooting time determining whether you configured an
IPX internal network with eight 4's or seven 4's.

regards

Ki

Subject: Question on MAC address manipulation in the lab

What is your opinion on changing Mac addresses on LAN interfaces in the lab,
for example setting the MAC of all interfaces on router1 to 1.1.1
router 2 to 2.2.2 et'c

This looks very promising for saving major time on IPX.

Even more important - since we have no hosts in the lab (I think) and use
only routers, why not
assign MAC addresses with only 'magic numbers' to all interfaces related to
translational bridging, if the MAC is made of only double 00,66,99,FF for
example then everything turns into a real no brainer, using MAC
6666.0000.6666 for example makes easy time of translational bridging.

Anyone can think of any problems with this ?

Omer.
