Vadim,

        I would recommend not assigning the RID, at least for OSPF. At the
NMC-1 class I went to, we were getting a strange case of the ISDN not
staying down, even with the correct configuration. Bruce and Val had us try
a few different debugs, but nothing seemed to work. As a hunch, we took our
configured RID statements off. It then started working correctly. We were
running a 12.0.xT version, so I'm sure it's just a bug. But in the lab
you'll see 'T' versions as well, so you might not have a fixed version on
your lab routers. I wouldn't risk it.

Subject: router-id - quick question

 Hello,
Is it legal on the lab to assign router id to the router ?
For example, if router 3 is using ospf and virtual link is involved - as a
good practice use command router-id 3.3.3.3 (assuming that is no ip network
3.x.x.x anywhere on the network). Of course, I will restart opsf process,
but looks like IOS even prompting me for it.
 Any strong opinion against that practice?
Thank you.
Vadim.
