Dear all, i have OSPF running but need to check if doing this OK.
I have a remote-PPP-server that has a local loopback interface for OSPF with IP 10.255.255.2.
On this server, I have secret with a local IP of 10.255.255.2, and remote IP of 10.255.255.1.
I have another-server that dials in to the above PPP server, it has a loop back of 10.255.255.1.
When it connects to the PPP server successfully, i check the addresses and can see one static address as 10.255.255.1 assigned to the loopback, and another address 10.255.255.1 assigned to the PPP adapter.
The reason i like this is because for each host i can add a OSPF network entry of 10.255.255.0/24 (assuming i have 254 hosts) and it just picks up the network and works.
Or do i want to make unique IPs for each side of the connection in the secrets, i.e. local=10.10.254.2, remote=10.10.254.1? Are there any problems in "reusing" the OSPF loopback address and one showing static and another showing dynamic, will this cause routing protocol to flap?
