OSPF
CCNA OSPF
1- OSPF is an open standard link state routing protocol
router Link State
EIGRP Cisco
2- Classless support
routing update subnet mask
3- Has Unlimited hop count

4- Administrative Distance = 110

Metric = 10^8 / 100.000.000 = 1
6- Router ID

9- Every time a router sends an update, it sends it to the DR and BDR on the
multicast address 224.0.0.6
routers routing update

10- The DR will then send the update out to all other routers in the area, to the
multicast address 224.0.0.5

11- OSPF divide the Network to Areas to reduce traffic on the network and CPU
usage

12- The OSPF Protocol can operate securely between routers, optionally using a
clear-text password or using MD5 to authenticate

Show ip ospf interface

OSPF Lab

After gives routers ip address for each interface

Configure R1 :
R1>enable
R1#config t
R1(config)# router ospf 1
R1(config-router)# network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R1(config-router)# network 10.1.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R1(config-router)#^z

Configure R2 :
R2>enable
R2#config t
R2(config)# router ospf 1
R2(config-router)# network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R2(config-router)# network 10.1.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R2(config-router)#^z

Configure R3 :

R3>enable
R3#config t
R3(config)# router ospf 1
R3(config-router)# network 10.1.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R3(config-router)# network 10.1.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R3(config-router)#^z

After enable OSPF at each router we will use some of commands to detect ospf operation
Router # show ip ospf database
routers Router ID
Router # show ip ospf interface

1- Interface IP address
2- Area assignment
3- Process ID
4- Router ID
5 Network type
6- Cost
7- Priority
8- DR / BDR election information ( if applicable )
9- Hello and Dead timer intervals
10- Adjacent neighbor information
