Re: OSPF Lab - DR behaviour with loopbacks WAS: RE: question about loopback interfaces

Yes, a convergence would occur anyway, but if the Router ID changes, a lot more things could go wrong. For example, virtual links are configured using the Router ID. If the router ID changes (like by having a serial interface your RID), the virtual link goes down. Having loopbacks as your Router

Chuck, The virtual link would not reconverge because of how it is configured. It needs to use Area 1 as a transit area and terminate on a specific routed ID. It wouldn't be able to go through other routers in your setup because it would have to either terminate on a different RID (not acceptable)

Re: OSPF Not So Stuby Area (NSSA)

2000-07-19 Thread Tony Olzak
Omer, A NSSA is a stub area that has an ASBR attached to it. It is a Cisco feature that allows this to happen. Instead of flooding type 5 LSAs, the ASBR floods the area with type 7 LSAs. When these reach the ABR, it will then propagate to the rest of the network using type 5 LSAs. Tony Olzak

If you are using the IPsec client and your ISP is doing NAT, you will have problems. When the NAT changes the packet, the CRC of the packet gets screwed up and messes up IPsec. If you NAT through the Altiga box, however, they supposedly can NAT IPsec with no problem. Tony Olzak, CCNP, MCSE

Actually, when you do a copy start run, it only adds lines that are missing from your running config. It does not actually go in and change things like your password. This means that you can use the command at any time. I just did it multiple times on my home lab. Tony Olzak, CCNP, MCSE
