Hi Nate,
If you have a duplicate router-id within your network, you will run into troubles. I'll never set the router-id by hand.
My recommendation is setting the OSPF Router-ID by adding "ip ospf priority 255" to the Interface/IP-Address, which should be elected as router-id and "ip ospf priority 0" to the Interface/IP-Address which NEVER should be the router-id.
Automatic election is a NO GO for me.
Cheers
-Lukas

Betreff: 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
