OSPF router is not using the adjacent neighbors’ highest loopback as Neighbor ID

AKA, configuring the loopback after creating the OSPF process...

Setting key chain time-based authentication for EIGRP in GNS3…

Notes:

My lifetime config on all routers:

R(config-keychain-key)# accept-lifetime 06:00:00 May 9 2012 infinite

R(config-keychain-key)# send-lifetime 06:00:00 May 9 2012 infinite

• GNS3 0.8.1
• VirtualBox 4.1.6
• Still using the same topology from ntp server post:
• Global config command clock save interval hours crashed the routers... so I'm not using this as a soloution.

Setting a VirtualBox XP Machine as an NTP Server in GNS3

The following is how I set an xp vm to act as an ntp authoritative time server for a LAN within GNS3. This took some time and yes, I know that setting one of the routers as the ntp server is much easier to do… but where’s the fun in that? This is just something I was fooling around with and how I got it to work.
