GS,
The workbook I use recommends to hardcode router-id for every routing protocol (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), unless the scenario does not allow it. This practice is time consuming (if applied for all routers, and all routing protocols), and also error-prone as well, so I am reluctant to do it, unless I really need to.
I do see the need for OSPF as virtual-links use router ID. If router-id change (e.g. after router reload) virtual-links will fail.
However, I do not see any need for BGP and EIGRP. Can anyone tell me a common BGP or EIGRP scenario where we need to fix router-id? Thanks.
Huan
