Ooooh forgot that one useless thing I did...led the team at Oregon State
University that developed the implementation standard for Microsoft's Active
Directory partitioning & replication, over a decade ago...still in use today
with several hundred servers. No need to mention the old ccMail system with
over 300 post office databases sitting on Novell servers for which I & another
guy wrote a series of batch files & apps nested 8 levels deep, to replicate
directory changes between the post office databases...before ccMail had a
directory update app that worked. That was fun.
Good stuff for a laugh and a nod for those who "understand" us older guys and
our older protocols.

Yes, there are lots of old things in my head. I can dig out my old Netware
CNE badge, ran 10-Base2, Token-Ring, Arcnet, Apple's PhoneNet, and can hang as
a first chair tuba player in any of the top 10 symphony orchestras in our
country, but to quote Leslie Nielson "That's not important right now".
And then there's the fact that I live quite comfortably, using RIP for my
business.
If it's time to change, we will change, but I haven't seen a compelling
*enough* reason to get over my philosphical problem that I laid out in my
previous post. I want to know if this RIP "problem" is smoke & mirrors masking
an ACTUAL problem.

We know how to avoid routing loops. As I said before, RIP has been
around for decades and I know it well.
Our engineer wants to get us into OSPF, which I have no experience with
and don't understand. Since I don't really have anything to do with the
operation of my business anymore, it's likely that I will never understand OSPF
and that's why I'm having a problem.
It's philosophical. I have felt in the past like my hands were tied when
one person knew things about my network that I didn't know. I don't like that
feeling. I know that I can do RIP. I can fix whatever goes wrong if I need to.
If it's stable and works like it should ;)
Not to be snide, but you are probably the only person who still knows rip.
;-P
