RE: Extra configuration will not loose marks

Overconfiguration or not?

What if for example you need to configure NAT. I prefer to mark things
down so I would configure the inside source access-list as narrow as
possible. I.e. specifying each subnet that needs NAT access. However you
would forget one subnet, I would be possible to violate one of the demands
in the tasks. So a permit any woud be the easy way out. Or would you call
that "too less configuration".

btw: aliases (see other reply to original question) can be safely left on
the routers. I checked with a proctor for this. Don't waste your time on
cleaning out your aliases.

Cheers,

Koen

| Dear All
|
| One of my friends attend the CCIE lab recently, the Procter Told
| him " any extra configuration that will not change the behavior of your
| network will no cause any mark detection"
|
| now, do you believe that this is correct. i mean i can do for example the
| tagging for the routes when i do mutual redistribution between OSPF and
| EIGRP (not needed), just to be in the safe side, to be sure no routing loops
| will occour under any circumentances.
