The router id is simply a 32-bit number. You may set it to anything your
heart desires!

As long as your lab doesn't require the router-id to be something in
particular, or there is an instruction telling you not to manually set the
router-I or anything like that, then you're cool to go!

Hi Group,
 
Is it ok to hard code router id of a ospf router(router-id 3.3.3.3 to other
than a non given address(assume 3.3.3.3 for R3)ie:Do we have to hard code
the loopback ip address. If it is loopback addresss we are going to
advertise it in to ospf and if it is non given ip address we are not going
to advertise in to ospf. I know you can give a non given ip address as a
router id and not to advertise it in to ospf, but is this ok for the lab
exam.
 
thanks
