RE: "Rule of Thumb Commands " in LAB Prep...

With regards to the commands listed below, can anyone confirm if "no
peer neighbour-route" is only required when redistributing into OSPF and
only implemented on the interface that is running "ip ospf
demand-circuit"?

Thanks,

Paul

Can you please refer to some documentation describing Dialer-lists and
CDP relationship? I failed to find something on CCO.

Maybe there were times when old ios code would trigger isdn calls with
CDP
but not anymore if only ip traffic is defined as interesting.
Also for your rule of thumb, why not applying these commands only when
needed ? My approach would be to know what they do and configure them
only
when necessary,

Hello Folks,

I shall be grateful to my fellow group members if you could suggest on
my
below rule of thumb commands (risk free exercises) which I want to apply
during my all lab practices.

1. no peer neighbor-route (Under BRI Interface)

2. no cdp enable (Under BRI Interface)

3. no auto-sum (RIP,EIGRP & BGP unless required)

4. no sync (BGP unless required)

5. ip ospf network point-to-point (for Loopback interface if advertised
in
ospf)

6. no ip split horizon (on the Hub router in Hub & spoke for EIGRP &
RIP)

7. no discard-route internal or external for summarization in OSPF ABR &
ASBR to eliminate NULL 0)

8. passive-interface default (RIP & EIGRP)

9. always hardcode the router-id for OSPF,EIGRP & BGP

10. ip ospf mtu-ignore for ospf adjacency on the peer router interface
of
CAT3550 (to avoid MTU Mismatch detection in DBD Packets)

Last but not least Iam looking for the best practices that I have to use
for
verification and testing when I complete each LAB.. as of now when I
complete the LAB I do my verification my pinging the loopback interface
of
all routers and reviewing the routing table but some times I found still
this exercise doesnt give full ip reachability and also I need to know
if
the reachability of routes generated by BB must always be reachable from
POD..? or are they any exceptions for BGP learned routes.

Please do let me know your suggestions and also pls. advise if you had
like
to add-on in this rules.

Thanks in advance,

Akbar khan
