Dear all,
Before I take the leap into the lab (2 weeks to go now), I have a question which has
dogged me for a while now. Scenario below.
Router 1 has the following interfaces, Lo0, Eth0/0, S0/0, S0/1 and say Fast0/1.
Router 2 has the following interfaces Lo0, Lo1, Eth 0/1, S0/0.
Between Router 1 (s0/0) and Router 2 (s0/0) we are running say OSPF. On router 1
(e0/0 and s0/1) we are running RIP.
On Router 2 (e0/1 and lo1) we are also running Rip.
Router 1 (lo0, s0/1) and Router 2 (lo0) are running Eigrp.
Now for the questions
1. On router 1 OSPF process is running Q: should I put lo0,e0/0, fast0/1 and s0/1 as
passive interface ??? This worries me quite a bit as the argument of if you dont put
the network command under ospf then ospf will not run on that interface...BUT I have
been told that you should ALWAYS put every
"in use" interface into passive if it is not being used under the routing process.
2. This is not a question but a sanity check that for EIGRP and RIP then the "norm"
rules of passive interfaces apply.
Thanks for anyones help in clearing this annoying matter up.
