RE: CCIE Lab : ip cef

First of, i liked the way you placed your config in a very logical manner
that's easier for my tired brain to look it! :)

Second, as for the 8 DE bits, it's really very strange! are running any
routing protocols that may send something from R1 to R2?!

I think what Cisco meant is traversing the router not the locally originated
traffic which your test has shown us!

Any input guys?!

Best Regards,

Digital

concise on your email. Thank you!
