Hi,
I would suggest that you dont use bogus router-id.. In the lab you will
never know
what router-id other that are working against the same BB routers are using.
If
they are using the same as you, you both have problems... If you use your
loopbak
you are making sure that you have unike router-id`s on the BB routers ospf
databases...

Subject: Using Bogus Router IDs in OSPF?
Dear group,
I am a bit confused about the use of bogus router-ids for OSPF during
the real lab.
At the moment, I am using for my OSPF routers bogus router-ids like
0.0.0.1 for R1, 0.0.0.2 for R2...
without having loopback interfaces with that ip addresses. This gives me
a very good overview
of my ospf databases... ;-)
What do you suggest for the real CCIE lab? Is it OK to go with bogus
router-IDs or should
I use the real looback addresses instead? Does the lab guide gives any
constraints about the router ids?
What is "best practice" for the lab?
Heiko
