I tend to think that the more I do the more chances I have to screw it up.
If I can do the basic method and it fulfills all of the requirements then I
tend to go that route. Less complexity usually equals easier to
troubleshoot and fix. Again, though, only if the basic options satisfies
all of the requirements will I use that route.

Subject: RE: a question of "over-configuring"
Many times I encounter more than one way to configure something according to
a task....
and it leaves me wondering "should i do both things, or should i just do the
basic thing....
for instance:
for security, ensure that rip updates are only sent to neighbor 1.1.1.1.
well, you can do the basic:
router rip
pass int s0/0
neighbor 1.1.1.1
and you can do something like
ip access-list exteded rip
permit udp any host 1.1.1.1 eq rip
deny udp any any
permit ip any any
int s0/0
ip access-group rip out
and likewise if you have to configure something like rsvp or wred or rtp,
you need to enable "fair-queue", BUT, should you just do "fair-queue" or,
"fair-queue 64 256 2 ?
would you get busted on the lab exam for these examples of
"over-configuring" a requirement? is this a good idea? any thoughts?
