I don't know about the core but it makes one scary EIGRP network no areas !!!!!!. But the EIGRP seems very stable touch wood. Mind you, I remember Luc De Ghein in the Cisco TAC saying that none of the ISP's he works with have more than one ISIS area. I am hoping this has changed.

It would appear that number of routes may be a slightly different story? Chuck One IOS to forward them all. One IOS to find them. One IOS to summarize them all And in the routing table bind them. -JRR Chambers- Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=2470&t=2470 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
