This question is sort of off topic (and very broad) but it could start up all
sorts of interesting on-topic threads so I'll ask it anyway. And anyway,
groupstudy's quiet - does the US have a holiday yesterday or something
(timezones do funny things to sentences :-)?
I'm doing a clean up and general revision of some of our router configs -
removing stuff that is no longer needed, changing parameters that are no longer
appropriate, etc etc.
What commands/configurations are viewed as current general 'best practice'? I'm
thinking of things like 'no ip directed-broadcast', 'ip classless' and 'no
service blah blah', that have become defaults in later IOS versions, and also
more specific stuff like when to use which form of route caching, or guidelines
from presentations/remote corners of CCO (e.g. I've got some configuration
guidelines for configuring frame relay traffic shaping which come from a
Networker's presentation - I've posted them before but let me know if anyone
wants them posted again).
I know the ultimate answer will be 'it depends' (after all, if there was a
single 'best way' the parameters wouldn't have to be user-configurable) - I'm
more looking for things to consider.
To restrict it a bit, some of the things I am running on the routers include...
IOS 11.2
frame relay (using sub-interfaces and frame relay traffic shaping)
ISDN (natively and using an external TA)
IPX (with IPX RIP)
IP (with OSPF and statics)
prioritisation
access lists for filtering and prioritisation
SNMP/RMON
NTP
HSRP
Thanks,
JMcL
