I have a question regarding OSPF behavior and the loopback address. Our
backbone is running OSPF and we have installed a Cache-Flow server to cache
webpages. The cache-flow does not support OSPF so I attempted to
redistribute OSPF into RIP. I use a private address for the loopback on all

If you remove the router ospf configuration and paste
it back, OSPF will restart with a new router ID if you
have a new high IP address. You can only do this in a
test/non-production network environment though. I've
done this before in my labs because it is faster then
waiting for the router to re
ill change.

I thought OSPF is suppose to converge whenever you have a change in the
route. I.e whenever any interface bounce.. regardless of the OSPF

Chuck and others,
I've been following this conversation and it is a good
review.
Without a loopback interface, the OSPF RID (Router ID)
will be the highest IP address on the router when the
OSPF process becomes active. If that interface isn't
stable (say the highest IP is on a WAN circuit) then
Using addresses associated with loopback interfaces (with ospf) has two
advantage :
1) The lo interface is more stable than any physical interface. It is active
when a
router boots up, and it only fails if the entire router fails.
2) The network administrator usually prefer to use a predictable o

Much as I personally rant about cross posting the two lists, I believe this
one might be worth examination from all levels.
Recall the questions and answers about the purpose of the loopback
interface, particularly in OSPF. Among the answers proposed is that the
loopback, being always up, provide
