Study Notes
Chapter 9: Single-Area OSPF
- This chapter covers Single-Area OSPF, specifically OSPFv2 and OSPFv3
- Topics include characteristics, configuration, and operation
- Objectives include understanding link-state routing, Cisco IOS router packet types, OSPF convergence, configuring router IDs, configuring single-area OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 in IPv4 networks, OSPF cost calculation, verifying OSPFv2 in a network, comparing OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, configuring single-area OSPFv3, and verifying single-area OSPFv3 in a network.
Chapter 9.1 Characteristics of OSPF
- Covers the features of OSPF, including features like being classless, efficient, secure, and scalable, with fast convergence
- OSPF uses link-state routing protocols
- OSPF's interior gateway protocols use the open shortest path first (OSPF) algorithm
Chapter 9.2 Configuring Single-area OSPFv2
- Explains how to configure single-area OSPFv2 in a small, routed IPv4 network.
- Includes the necessary commands for setting up OSPFv2
Chapter 9.3 Configuring Single-area OSPFv3
- Explains how to configure single-area OSPFv3 in a small, routed network.
- Covers the commands for OSPFv3 configuration
Evolution of OSPF Gateway Protocols
- Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) include Distance Vector (RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP ipv4, EIGRP ipv6), and Link State (OSPFv2, OSPFv3, IS-IS ipv4, IS-IS ipv6)
- Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGPs) include Path Vector (BGP-4), and BGP-MP
- Key dates and updates to protocols are shown 1988 - OSPFv2, 1989 - updated, and 2008
OSPF Data Structures
- Adjacency Database: Lists all neighboring routers with bidirectional communication.
- Neighbor Table: Unique to each router, showing bi-directional connections
- Link-state Database (LSDB): Contains information about all routers in the network, showing the topology
- Topology Table: Shows network topology for all routers in the same area.
- Forwarding Database (Routing Table): Contains routes generated during link-state database processing. Routes show the best paths to other routers in the network.
OSPF Routers Exchange Packets
- OSPF routers utilize Hello packets, Database Description packets, Link-State Request packets, Link-State Update packets, and Link-State Acknowledgment packets to discover neighbors and maintain consistent routing information.
OSPF Link-State Operation
- Routers exchange LSAs (Link State Advertisements) to share network topology and costs.
- LSAs are flooded throughout the area to ensure all routers have the same network map.
- The SPF (Shortest Path First) algorithm builds the topology table and selects the optimal paths to destinations.
R1 Creates the SPF Tree
- Build the topology table based on received LSAs
- The process builds a database containing all network topology info
- Execute the SPF algorithm
Calculating the Wildcard Mask
- Subtracting the subnet mask from 255.255.255.255 yields the wildcard mask.
Configuring Single-area OSPFv2 Passive Interface
- By default, OSPF messages are forwarded out all interfaces
- Passive interface command only transmits routing update messages to other enabled routers, but still allowing them to be advertised.
- This leads to three benefits: efficient bandwidth use, reduced resource use, and decreased security risks.
OSPF Cost Accumulates Costs
- The cost of an OSPF route is the accumulation of values from each router to the destination network.
Verify OSPF Neighbors
- Use the
show ip ospf neighborcommand to verify adjacencies and the state of neighbor routers. - Neighbors' states should be FULL/ - or FULL/-.
Verify OSPF Protocol Settings
- Use the
show ip protocolscommand to verify OSPF protocol configurations and settings.
OSPF Messages Hello Packets
- OSPF routers exchange Hello packets to find neighboring routers and set up adjacencies.
- Hello packets include info on parameters used by routers when deciding to be neighbors
- The Designated Router (DR) and Backup Designated Router (BDR) are elected on multiaccess networks
OSPF Hello Packet Intervals
- OSPF Hello packets are transmitted every 10 seconds on point-to-point and multiaccess networks, and every 30 seconds in non-broadcast multiaccess
OSPF Operational States
- OSPF routers progress through the Down state, Init state, Two-way state, ExStart state, Exchange state, Loading state, and Full state when initially connecting to a network.
OSPF DR and BDR
- The number of possible adjacencies between routers is calculated by n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of routers.
OSPF Network Topology, Router ID
- Includes the arrangement of routers and networks
- Identifies router IDs within the network configuration.
Configuring Passive Interfaces
- Using the
passive-interfacecommand confines OSPF routing updates to only interfaces that require them. - Prevents unnecessary traffic on LANs which saves memory and processing power
