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

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)

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,

One or two comments inset. Chuck's Text I would venture a guess that the BDR would be promoted because even though there is an alternative route to the DR loopback, hellos go only to adjacent routers, and the DR is no longer adjacent. Well, I proved my point. Under this scenario, when I unplug

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
