You are correct about Livingston and RIPv2 and I agree with the OSPF. Almost have some info pages for this setup ready. They are more geared to OSPF with the PM3 (there will be some Cisco info as well), which needs 23/24/46/48 IPs. That in itself is cause for headache unless you use OSPF. Even so, with OSPF you can aggregate the routes further with a little planning, which I can demonstrate with 5 PM3's on a /24 going from 33 -> 18 routes, making for a cleaner, smaller table in the Cisco. Need to clean it up a bit first. Anyone interested can reply directly. cheers!
