Study Notes
OSPF Domain: Router R1's Role
- Router R1 is an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) in the OSPF domain.
- R1 is not a Backbone Router since it doesn't solely connect to Area 0 (backbone area).
- R1's connection to the Internet signifies that it's an ASBR, responsible for routing traffic between the OSPF domain and external networks.
- R1 resembles an Area Border Router (ABR) due to its connections to OSPF areas 0 and 1.
- R1 plays a critical role in OSPF area boundaries, serving as a gateway between areas 0 and 1, and facilitating communication between them.
