When I went for the lab, I used the loopback address, they asked me to make
in the lab, for example router 5 x.x.5.5/32 use that as your router-id's
for ospf and bgp, I believe the internetwork expert do the same.

It's about as much fun there as talking to your fellow candidates to discuss
their router-id strategy on the day of the lab. ;) tsk, tsk.

Unless you are using a routing protocol with a BB router that passes a
router-id, then it's not the end of the world.

As a side note, I would like to think that unless you are supposed to
exchanging routing information between pods (not likely) that the proctors
would have separate OSPF processes going on with the BB routers. Just my
thoughts there.

But you're correct, if nothing is told to you in the instructions you are
free to do what you want.

Hi Eldho,

Do as they tell you. If they do not tell you , you have the freedom.

Just make sure your ID is unique (does not collide with other via the
backbone routers....so do not use 1.1.1.1 for example....use loopbacks,
anything using your rack number...etc)....
