James -

Can you please expound on the advertisement issue that you state. I
didn't think that the network command under ospf had anything to do with
how the interface was advertised. I thought that this only determined
which interfaces were included in the ospf process. I do agree that the
ospf network command does affect the advertisement.

You need to watch out for your restrictions on the 0.0.0.0 mask. If you
have a restriction that all interfaces must be advertised with their
original mask, make sure you do not use the 0.0.0.0 unless you are
allowed to use the ip ospf network point-to-point command under the
interface you are conneting with. Again, this will fall under the
restrictions of how you can have your ospf neighbors talk to each other.

The best practice is to use the second method. By using 0.0.0.0 wildcard
you are saying that I want to run OSPF routing process just on that
particular interface unless if you have a whole range of interface that
you want to use on the same line then you might want to use the first
method.

Yes Its a good idea to use router-id under the routing process. Use
Loopback 0 as your router id's.

Thanks,
Manoj.

hi group,
I have a query that if a interface has an Ip address 172.16.12.1/25 What
wild card bits should I use under the IGP process ?

router ospf 1
net 172.16.12.1 0.0.0.127 or
net 172.16.12.1 0.0.0.0

which is the best way ? What does Cisco expect from us ?

If not specified should I use a "router-id" under each IGP running on a
router ?
