mnemonics are cool!

Welcome back!

Greg at Etherealmind posted a memory tool regarding mnemonics to remember the OSI Model. I love the idea and as an instructor its good to have a few handy. Here is what I have come up with over the past few years as a trainer. Some are from GroupStudy and others I have just heard.

We – weight
Love – local preference
Old – originate
Apples – as-path
Oranges – Origin
&
Mangos – MED
Really – router-id

or

“We Love Oranges AS Oranges Mean Pure Refreshment”

W Weight (Highest)
L Local_Pref (Highest)
O Originate (local originate)
AS As_Path (shortest)
O Origin Code (IGP < EGP < Incomplete)
M MED (lowest)
P Paths (External Paths preferred Over Internal)
R Router ID (lowest)

Then there is this one from GroupStudy:

Discard all Worries before Leaving Rome As the Original Mis-information Sound’s like a Neighbor’s Idea.

Discard = DISCARD unreachable next hop.
Worries= highest WEIGHT
Leaving=highest LOCALpreference
Rome=Originated on this ROUTER
As=shortest AS_PATH
Original=ORIGIN code
Mis-information=lowest MED
Sound=SOURCE (external or internal)
Neighbor’s=Closet IGP NEIGHBOR
Idea=lowest router ID

and also I thought of this one….

Dont Sell People Fake Bananas
Data, Segment, Packets, Frames, Bits.

Thats all I got. I’d I’m Spent.
