</span>Please be aware that by default Babel uses a router-id that is derived<br>
from the MAC address. You can avoid this by setting the router-id<br>
manually (which I don't recommend) or using a random router-id (-r).<br>
With -r, you get a new router-id everytime you restart the babeld daemon.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thank you. Good to know.

I you're using IPv6, you should also make sure you don't announce routes<br>
to MAC-based IPv6 addresses, but I'm sure you're already aware of that<br>
particular privacy issue.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes that is very annoying.<br><br>-- <br></div><div>marc/juul<br></div></div><br></div></div>
