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.
