In a lab environment where you might have to interact with backbone
routers
that are shared with other candidates, I would recommend using a router
ID
that is unique. 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2 and 3.3.3.3 may not be unique. In a
home
lab they will be unique. In an environment with shared backbone routers
and
other candidates also doing labs you could possibly end up using the
same
router ID as someone else. To help guard against this possibility pick
an
existing loopback address to hard code as your OSPF, EIGRP and/or BGP
router
ID or pick X.X.Y.Y where X is your rack number and Y is the device
number
(1=R1, 2=R2, etc).

Subject: Router ID
Hi:
I have a question regarding the usage of router id in CCIE lab. My
scenarios
are not asking me to set the router id. I have decided to set it due to
some
other reasons. Will that be correct? Or is it mandatory that Cisco
should
ask explicitly that we need to set the router id.
Besides this, during the router id selection process I choose an id of
my
own interest...may be an IP range other than what has been given for the
lab? Will that be alright? Or is the need to be selected from within the
IP
range provided in the lab.
Please advice if it does not break NDA.
Thanks,
Noble
