Hello Kevin and Everyone,

In lab2 of CCIE Practicle book by cisco presss, it has two parallel
paths to an ethernet segment like below:

R1\
 | \ R4
R6 /

R4 has parallel paths to R1 and R6 via FR. The solution doesn't
configure backup peer, cost or ethernet redundancy,? It counfigures
round robin load-balancing and dynamic peer though. Comments? when do
we need to configure ethernet redundancy..

regards
-AK
