A router-id is only valid for one ospf process. So if you are every required
to run two ospf processes, well then be aware of this fact!

You may have to be careful not to just do "what your used to" but read the
task very carefully... so I would say just do it until this day!

Subject: Router-id Harmful?

All,
In OSPF, DR/BDR Election removed.. is there ever a reason not to
manipulate the router-id? I am moving through Labs but i find it
cleaner to change the router-id on every router i touch to make
things mentally "cleaner". I can also see it buying you some time on
the Big Lab especially with Virtual Links.

Again, if you account for the DR/BDR Election, is there a reason to
not chronically change the router-id's?

Regards,
Nate
