Re: GNS3 Issues during PfR Lab

it has rip on one side for ease of config as youve seen...

i didnt go much further with that lab, but like i was saying before, i
usually just keep going with labs until i hit the wall and things start
flapping then i just 'prune' back protocols to keep it stable and try a few
other switches in the focus of the lab, like with OER/PfR turning on the
switches inside that protocol...
