If you were told to put the loopback into area 0, then to grade that I
would go to another router that is in area 0 to see that it shows up as
an intra-area route. If someone wants to do some fancy router tricks
that they thought would also meet the requirement then they can spend
$250 and go through a regarding ;-) So don't use dual OSPF processes
unless the lab is looking for them as part of a solution.
There are a lot of people that take the lab several times before passing
because they just won't solve the tasks using a simple method that meets
the requirements. They want to get into semantics with the wording of
a task so they start over engineering and/or over complicating their
solution.

That sparks a question that I have. So if they said... put the loopback
0 in ospf area 0. Could I just put it in a different process? I mean as
long as it's reachable in the end... that's all that matters... right?
This a is a debate that some of my friends have. They say don't do
anything extra, because you'll be marked down. My arguement is, that is
didn't say I couldn't do that. Plus, it makes the lab easier when you
split these things up.
What's your opinion?
thanks,
Dan.

Remember in the lab don't try and think about the "best way" to do
something. Do whatever you need to do to meet the requirements of the
lab and nothing more. If they want the loopback in OSPF but don't have
any restrictions on how to get it in, then they don't care how you got
it in. They just care that it's in OSPF.
Think about it like this. If you gave someone a lab to do and told them
to advertise a loopback into OSPF without any restrictions, how would
you grade it? More than likely it would be something along the lines of
"show ip route ospf | include X.X.X.X" on a neighboring OSPF enabled
router. Compare that to hunting through the router's configuration to
figure out how they solved the task (network statement, redistribution,
etc).

What is the best way of advertising loopback address in ospf , via
network
command or redistribute connected command ?
I always use network command but I have seen some of workbook use
redistribut connected for loopbacks.
Thanks in advance.
Sami
