I would highly recommend defining your own router-ids -- just for the
reasons you specified. The only argument that I have heard against doing
this is a negative experience using OSPF router-id's with ISDN.

Router-id's are designations, not IP addresses. As such their
non-routability should not be a factor. If it is, then I would consider that
a bug in the IOS.

I your studies using OSPF and ISDN, try defining router-id's and see if you
have a problem. If you do, I would like to see your configs so I can lab it
up.

No problems, you can use your own router-ids for OSPF and BGP in your
real lab

All,

I like using my own OSPF and BGP router-ids that help trouble-shoot
really
fast. Do you think they would count points off for using these?

For example:
r1 router-id 1.1.1.1
r2 router-id 2.2.2.2

* These are note routed in any, but just used as a router-ids.

Please give your advise. All advise is good advise.

Thanks,
Rick
