    Lab 4: Single-Area OSPF (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3)

    • Shortest Path First Protocols: Link-state routing protocols use Dijkstra's SPF algorithm to find the shortest path.
    • OSPF: A link-state routing protocol, known for its complexity but straightforward configuration.
    • IS-IS: Another link-state routing protocol.
    • Complexity: Link-state protocols are more complex than distance-vector protocols.
    • Configuration: OSPF operations use commands like router ospf process-id global configuration command and network command to advertise networks
    • Purpose: Used for calculating optimal paths across a network.
    • Diagram: The provided diagram illustrates costs associated with paths, used by the SPF algorithm to determine optimal paths (e.g., R2 to LAN attached to R3 has a cost of 27).
    • Link-State: An interface on a router, with its state information known as a link-state.
    • Convergence: All routers in an area complete a process to reach convergence, learning their own links and directly connected networks, exchanging messages (Hello packets) with neighbors to establish adjacencies, building a Link-State Packet (LSP) containing the state of directly connected links, flooding the LSP to all neighbors, storing LSPs in a database, using the database to construct a topology map, and calculating the best path to each destination by finding the SPF tree.
    • Dijkstra's Algorithm: Used by link-state routing protocols to determine the best path by calculating the total cost from source to destination
    • LSP: A packet containing link-state information related to interconnected links on a network
    • Flooding: Routers disseminating LSPs to all neighboring routers.

    OSPF Features

    • Classless: OSPFv2 supports IPv4 VLSM and CIDR.
    • Efficient: Routing changes trigger routing updates, not periodic ones.
    • Fast Convergence: Quick response to network changes.
    • Scalable: Works well in both small and large networks.
    • Secure: OSPFv2 supports MD5 and SHA authentication, and OSPFv3 uses IPsec for greater security.
    • Administrative Distance (AD): Measures the trustworthiness or preference of a route source.

    OSPF Data Structures

    • Adjacency Database (Neighbor Table): Shows routers with bidirectional communication.
    • Link-State Database (LSDB): Contains network topology information. All routers in an area have identical LSDBs
    • Topology Table: Displays details of all routers in the network.
    • Forwarding Database (Routing Table): Generated via algorithm actions on LSDBs. Each router has a unique routing table showing routes.

    Single-Area and Multiarea OSPF

    • Single-Area OSPF: All routers are in one area (backbone area 0).
    • Multiarea OSPF: Implemented in a hierarchical fashion with multiple areas connected to the backbone area (area 0). Routers interconnecting these areas are Area Border Routers (ABRs).

    Router IDs

    • Uniqueness: A router ID is used by other routers to identify each router.
    • Election of DR/BDR: Routers are elected as Designated Routers (DR) and Backup Designated Routers (BDR), based on priority and router ID.

    OSPFv3

    • IPv6 Prefixes: Handles IPv6 prefixes in routing.
    • Network Addressing: Uses link-local addresses and unicast/multicast addresses when advertising routes.
