I would recommend that you are always deterministic on what your
router-id will be. You don't want OSPF to break if they bring down a
link to test another requirement. It will also make your life easier by
having consistent output when reading show commands. There are also some
gotchas with OSPF and BGP not having the same router-id. I don't
believe you are penalized for extra config as long as it is not
specifically forbidden or conflicts with another requirement.

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
