The book answer does seem a little brain-damaged. ;-) Generally you wouldn't want IDSN to stay up just for a routing protocol, from what I understand. Could you change the hello interval? The default on ISDN BRI is 5 seconds. You could make it a lot longer. But then EIGRP would take a long time to converge. You could fix this with a shorter hold-time. Well, you're probably on to bigger and better things by now anyway! Priscilla > > In answer to someone else's point, no, snapshot routing is not > an option > with either ospf or eigrp.
