Hi All, This seems like such an easy question, but the thing I seem to struggle with more than any other in the IPX vol 3 labs are where my loopbacks are supposed to go. In some labs it's fairly clear, by putting the protocol halos all the way around a router to indicate that that router's loopback goes in protocol X and not protocol Y. But other labs (lab 6 really just chapped my butt over this) make no distinction with the diagram and don't clearly indicate in the tasks. That one in particular only says in the EIGRP config to "include all interfaces", so for EIGRP routers I put the loopbacks in EIGRP, and for OPSF-only routers I ended up redistributing the loopbacks. The solution for lab 6 (which seems to be have several errors as it is [and more spelling/grammar mistakes than a 3rd grader's essay]) puts the loopbacks in OSPF, and even on the EIGRP routers doesn't activate EIGRP on all interfaces as instructed, nor even puts the loopbacks in there.
Is there a secret decoder ring for understanding which protocol loopbacks go in, or do I just have to hope that when I get into my lab (which is very, very soon) the diagrams and/or instructions are much more concise than IPX's labs? Any insight is appreciated. I feel like I do the wrong thing with respect to this almost every single time, and it obviously has a huge impact on downstream tasks so if there's a way I can approach this better I'd like to learn it ASAP. _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com Are you a CCNP or CCIE and looking for a job?
