Hi,

Is it best practice to have the internet facing BGP router's peering ip (or for that matter any key gateway or 
security appliance) use a statically configured address or use EUI-64 auto config?

I have seen comments on both sides and am leaning to EUI-64 (except for the VIP's like the ASA's failover ip )


Static. You don't want to have to contact all of your peers when the EUI-64 address changes when you replace hardware.

Cheers
Sander
