4. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 4 OSPF Overview and Configuration
The OSPF Advantage
OSPF is an interior gateway protocol (IGP)
that is more efficient than RIP.
Consumes fewer network resources
Highly scalable
Faster convergence
A more descriptive routing metric
Route load sharing
Greater security
5. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 5 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Employ a distributed database model.
Each router advertises a description of its
local environment
interfaces
costs
neighbor information
Uses a single synchronized database for
collecting advertisements (LSDB)
Routing table is derived from this database
Utilize a shortest-path first algorithm
OSPF is a Link-state routing protocol

7. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 7 OSPF Overview and Configuration
OSPF Hello Packet & Neighbor Discover
OSPF Hello packets are sent out all of a
router’s interfaces to advertise itself to
neighbor routers
A router learns about its neighbors when it
receives neighbor router’s Hello packet
Hello packets are sent out every 10 seconds
by default
If subsequent Hello packet is not received
within 40 seconds, neighbor relationship is
terminated
8. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 8 OSPF Overview and Configuration
OSPF Hello Packets
Will only be recognized by routers attached
to the same subnet with same subnet mask
Contains information on parameters for
Hello Interval and
Router Dead Interval
This information is used by neighbor routers
to agree on the communication variables
This allows an occasional lost Hello packet
not to be interpreted as a link down
condition.
9. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 9 OSPF Overview and Configuration
OSPF Hello Packets (cont.)
In a broadcast environment, it contains the
OSPF router IDs of all routers the sender has
heard up to the point of transmission
This reduces overhead of sending multiple
Hellos
Ensure that the OSPF link is bi-directional
NOTE: An OSPF router will not forward data
packets over a unidirectional link.
10. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 10 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Link State Advertisement (LSA)
Each OSPF router is responsible for
describing its local piece of the routing
topology through the transmission of link-
state advertisements.
Every thirty minutes a router will -- even in
the absence of any change, retransmit this
self-originating data in the event it may have
been lost or corrupted in a neighbor router’s
tables.

During synchronization, the neighbor
routers do three things:

33. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 33 OSPF Overview and Configuration
OSPF Database - Reliable Flooding
LSA Updates are periodically generated by
a router wishing to update a self-originated
LSA because:
The router’s local state may have changed
The router wants to delete one of its self-
originated LSAs
Used to propagate LSA Updates throughout
the routing domain
34. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 34 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Reliable Flooding - What Happens
A router will generate a Link-state Update
packet containing one or more LSAs
Update is forwarded out all interfaces.
Neighbor router receives the Update and
compares the LSAs with the LSDB
More recent LSAs are installed in LSDB
Acknowledgement is sent back to
originating route
New Link-state Update containing the LSA is
sent out all interfaces except receiving one.

44. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 44 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Broadcast Networks - Designated Router
Every broadcast network has a Designated
Router (DR) and a Backup Designated
Router (BDR)
Each router on the network exchanges link
state information only with the DR and BDR.
This information is used to maintain database
synchronization between the DR and neighbor
routers
This reduces the amount of traffic otherwise
consumed by routing protocol traffic
Only a DR generates a LS Type 2 - Network-
LSAs
45. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 45 OSPF Overview and Configuration
DR and BDR Election
First OSPF router on an IP subnet always
becomes the DR
Second OSPF router always becomes BDR
If DR or BDR fail, the OSPF router with the
highest Router Priority will replace the BDR
If two OSPF routers have same Router
Priority, then the OSPF Router ID will break
the tie
A Router Priority of 0 will prevent an OSPF
router from ever being elected as DR or BDR
46. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 46 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Database Synchronization
An OSPF router will send its Link State
Update (LSU) to the DR and BDR
The destination IP address for the LSU will be
multicast address 224.0.0.6 (All DRouters).
The DR will then flood the update to all
OSPF routers
The destination IP address for the LSU will be
multicast address 224.0.0.5 (All OSPFRouters).
47. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 47 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Representing Broadcast Subnet in LSDB
If an OSPF router included all known routers on
a common subnet in its router-LSA, there would
be n*(n-1) links in the OSPF database.
By using a new LSA type, the Network-LSA, to
represent the broadcast subnet, the number of
links is reduced from n*(n-1) to n*2.
Each network LSA has a link to every router-
LSA, and every router-LSA has a link to the
broadcast subnet’s network-LSA.
DR maintains the network-LSA

Module 4 - 57 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Normal Area
An area which is not a:
Stub area
NSSA
Can be placed anywhere within the OSPF
routing domain
Support ASBRs
Support Virtual Links
Can distribute external routes
58. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 58 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Area 0 (Backbone)
Is a Normal Area
Responsible for distributing routing
information between areas
Consist of
all area border routers
networks not contained in any other area
and their attached routers
Has an Area ID of 0.0.0.0
Only one backbone area per AS
All areas are required to attach directly to
the OSPF backbone area
59. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 59 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Stub Area
For routers with limited resources
reduce memory and computation requirements
The LSDB is kept as small as possible
External route information is not distributed
Will use default routes to ABRs instead
Does not support ASBRs
Does not support virtual links
Appears to lie on the edge of an OSPF
domain (AS) in configuration
60. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration
Module 4 - 60 OSPF Overview and Configuration
Not-So-Stubby-Area (NSSA)
Similar to existing OSPF Stub Area with two
additional capabilities
External routes originating from ASBR connect-
ed to NSSA can be advertised within
External routes originating from NSSA can be
propagated to other areas, including the
backbone.
61. LE-201 - Unicast Routing and L3 Switch Configuration

OSPF Defines Three types of Routers
Internal Router (IR)
Has all of its interfaces within the same area

Virtual Links
Used when a new area is introduced that
does not have a direct physical attachment
to the backbone
Provides a logical path between the ABR of
the disconnected area and the backbone
A virtual link is established between two
ABRs that have a common area, with one
ABR connected to the backbone
