[j-nsp] Cisco to Juniper Question

[Scott Morris]

1.  Laziness
2.  Not seeing any problems, therefore thinking all is good
3.  As you said the "it was like that when I got here and nobody asked me to
change it"
4.  I saw a configuration on Google once that did this, and it seemed like a
good idea

Or some combination of the above.   :)

I ask this of myself all the time.  For a point-to-point /30, I suppose it's
not really a problem.  I imagine that the reason a lot of people do this is
because "it was like that when I got here".  Either that, or some like the
benefit of a lower admin distance, as I believe that a static route to
next-hop has a distance of 1 in Cisco routers, whereas a static route to an
interface is 0.  That said, I think it's the former.
