Some "best practices"

Hi experts,

I know the CCIE lab is not a real-life network (thank God!), and that the
general rule is: "if they don't ask or restrict it, don't worry about it".
I know about hard-coding router-ids etc, but how to approach the following,
what are "best practices"?

1/ How do you deal with router-ids when running multiple processes of a
single routing protocol (eigrp or ospf) on a single router?
2/ If not specifically asked, do you do a "switchport nonegotiate" anyways?
3/ Do you do an "allowed vlan" on trunk link to a router (on-a-stick)?
4/ If you're asked to configure specific inter-switch links as trunks, does
this "automatically" mean to shutdown "the rest"?
5/ Does using PPPoFR imply changing the encapsulation of the interface, if
that's configured for frame-relay?

I am sure I can think of more, but it's a start ;-)

Cheers,
Marc
