The idea, for me is that by the time a company gets to the point that they need to route they'll either know what they are doing. And/or they'll have someone on staff just to handle that issue. The other problem I ran into back when was a shortage of ip addys. And routing to every customer

How were you looking at routing to use 3 for 1?  I have never setup routing that way and would like to be sure I don't.  I am running fully routed from the get-go, with 3 internal routers and a 4th going in Friday.  Actually 2 MTs as router only and 2 that are routing APs. Scott Reed

I'm no expert so you guys feel free to correct me as needed. The smallest subnet needs 4 ip addys to work. Even if it's three you get the idea. Still a huge waste of a very limited and harder to get all the time resource. Marlon(509) 982-2181 Equipment sales(408) 907-6910 (Vonage)

There are some benefits to bridging apposed to routing. So learn when routing or bridging is best for you. Generally you do not want to accept OSPF from a client, as it compromises the integrity of OSPF. (passing bad OSPF data). So routes then get added at the AP/cell router. The problem
