Hi

I have had confirmation from Cisco that over configuration does not get
marked negatively. As long as the required configurations are there
whatever else is not considered.

But then again, who knows if this is indeed the case.

Subject: Overconfiguration

Hi,
if you have two children, would you let them go diving with only one
bottle of air, just because it is sufficient?
Someday someone might change one router or it's config. It might be
helpful in that case to have redundant configurations.

I found the following topics that could be overconfiguration:
- "frame-relay map broadcast" on the hub because it does not forward
broadcasts
- "ip ospf demand-circuit" on both sides of the link
- "dialer load-treshold" on both sides
- turning off bgp synchronization if not asked
- backup interface/dialer-watch only on one side

Are there other examples?
Do you really loose points using these commands too much?

Regards,
Marcus
