The document provides a detailed comparison between distance vector and link state routing protocols, highlighting the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each. It focuses extensively on the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol, explaining its operational mechanisms, including the use of hello packets, link state advertisements (LSAs), and the role of various router types in an OSPF network. The document concludes with configuration examples and emphasizes the importance of loopback interfaces in OSPF implementations.

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
 OSPF is an open standards routing protocol
 This works by using the Dijkstra algorithm
 OSPF provides the following features:
Minimizes routing update traffic
Allows scalability (e.g. RIP is limited to 15 hops)
Has unlimited hop count
Supports VLSM/CIDR
Allows multi-vendor deployment (open standard)

7. 8
Link State
There are two types of Packets
Hello
LSA’s

8. 9
OSPF Hello
• When router A starts it send Hello packet – uses 224.0.0.5
• Hello packets are received by all neighbors
• B will write A’s name in its neighbor table
• C also process the same way
A
B C

9. 10
"Hello" Packets
• Small frequently issued packets
• Discover neighbours and negotiate "adjacencies"
• Verify continued availability of adjacent neighbours
• Hello packets and Link State Advertisements (LSAs)
build and maintain the topological database
• Hello packets are addressed to 224.0.0.5.

10. 11
Link State Advertisement
(LSA)
An OSPF data packet containing link state and
routing information that is shared among OSPF
routers
LSAs are shared only with routers with whom it has
formed adjacencies
LSA packets are used to update and maintain the
topology database.

11. 12
Link State
There are three type of tables
Neighbor
Topology
Routing

12. 13
Tables
 Neighbor
Contain information about the neighbors
Neighbor is a router which shares a link on same
network
Another relationship is adjacency
Not necessarily all neighbors
LSA updates are only when adjacency is established

13. 14
Tables
 Topology
Contain information about all network and path to
reach any network
All LSA’s are entered in to topology table
When topology changes LSA’s are generated and
send new LSA’s
On topology table an algorithm is run to create a
shortest path, this algorithm is known as SPF or
dijkstra algorithm

14. 15
Tables
 Routing Table
Also knows as forwarding database
Generated when an algorithm is run on the topology
database
Routing table for each router is unique

16. 17
Link
 A network or router interface assigned to a given
network
 Link (interface) will have "state" information
associated with it
Status (up or down)
IP Address
Network type (e.g. Fast Ethernet)
Bandwidth
Addresses of other routers attached to thisAddresses of other routers attached to this
interfaceinterface

17. 18
OSPF Term: Link
A link is a network or router interface assigned to any given
network
This link, or interface, will have state information
associated with it (up or down) as well as one or more IP
addresses

18. 19
OSPF Term: Link State
Status of a link between two routers
Information is shared between directly connected routers.
This information propagates throughout the network unchanged
and is also used to create a shortest path first (SPF) tree.

19. 20
Router ID
 The Router ID (RID) is an IP address used to identify the router
 Cisco chooses the Router ID by using the highest IP address of all
configured loopback interfaces
 If no loopback interfaces are configured with addresses, OSPF will
choose the highest IP address of all active physical interfaces.
 You can manually assign the router ID.
 The RID interface MUST always be up, therefore loopbacks are
preferred

20. 21
Neighbours
Neighbours are two or more routers that
have an interface on a common network
E.g. two routers connected on a serial link
E.g. several routers connected on a common
Ethernet or Frame relay network
Communication takes place between /
among neighbours
neighbours form "adjacencies"

21. 22
Adjacency
A relationship between two routers that
permits the direct exchange of route
updates
Not all neighbours will form adjacencies
This is done for reasons of efficiency – more
later

22. 23
OSPF Design
Each router connects to the backbone called area 0, or the backbone area.
Routers that connect other areas to the backbone within an AS are called Area Border Routers (ABRs).
One interface must be in area 0.
OSPF runs inside an autonomous system, but can also connect multiple autonomous systems together.
The router that connects these ASes together is called an Autonomous System Boundary Router
(ASBR).

23. 24
OSPF Areas
 An OSPF area is a grouping of contiguous networks and
routers
Share a common area IDarea ID
 A router can be a member of more than one area (area
border router)
 All routers in the same area have the same topology
database
 When multiple areas exist, there must always be an area
0 (the backbone) to which other areas connect

24. 25
Why areas?
 Decreases routing overhead
Compare to multiple smaller broadcast domains
instead of one large one
 Speeds convergence
 Confines network instability (e.g. route "flapping") to
single area of the network
 Adds considerably to the complexity of setting up OSPF
CCNA certification deals only with single-area OSPF

25. 26
Area Terminology

26. 27
LSA’s in Area
• LSAs communicate with adjacent routers in the same
OSPF area
• Subsequently, a change in a link state is "flooded" to all
area routers via LSAs
• In larger networks, multiple areas may be created
– LSAs are sent only to adjacent routers in the same
area
– "Area border routers" connect areas, passing
summarized route information between

27. 28
Path Calculation
 Changes to the topological database of a router trigger a
recalculation to re-establish the best route(s) to known
networks
Uses the SPF (shortest path first) algorithm
developed by a computer scientist named Dijkstra
This is done by each individual router using its
detailed "knowledge" of the whole network
Leads to rapid and accurate convergence
Based on detailed knowledge of every link in the area
and the OSPF "cost" of each
builds an OSPF treeOSPF tree with itself at the route

28. 29
Terminology: Cost
• Various criteria can be selected by
the administrator to determine the
metric
• Usually,
OSPF cost=108
/bandwidth
Do not forget to
configure the
bandwidth`bandwidth`
command on serial
links to ensure
correct
default OSPF cost

29. 30
Pros and Cons
 Note that OSPF is a more sophisticated routing protocol
Converges rapidly and accurately
Can use a metric calculation that effectively selects
the "best" route(s) primarily based on bandwidth,
although an OSPF cost can be administratively
assigned
 Use of OSPF requires
More powerful routing hardware
More detailed knowledge by the administrator,
especially when large multi-area networks are used

30. 31
Types of Neighbors
• OSPF can be defined for three type of neighbors
– Broadcast Multi Access (BMA) ex- Ethernet
– Point to Point
– Non-Broadcast Multi Access (NBMA)

31. 32
OSPF Network Types

32. 33
Adjacencies
 Point to Point all routers form adjacencies
 BMA & NBMA one router is elected as DR
 DR establish adjacency with every neighbor router
 LSA updates are exchanged only to DR
 DR is the router which has highest priority
 All CISCO routers has priority 1
 If priority is same then router id is seen
 The RID is highest IP address of all interfaces

33. 34
Point-to-Point Links
 Usually a serial interface running either PPP
or HDLC
No DR or BDR election required
 OSPF autodetects this interface type
 OSPF packets are sent using multicast 224.0.0.5
All routers form adjacencies

34. 35
Multi-access Broadcast Network
• Generally LAN technologies like Ethernet and Token Ring
• DR and BDR selection required
• All neighbor routers form full adjacencies with the DR and
BDR only
• Packets to the DR use 224.0.0.6
• Packets from DR to all other routers use 224.0.0.5

35. 36
Electing the DR and BDR
 Hello packets are exchanged via IP multicast.
 The router with the highest priority is
selected as the DR.
If Priority is same then Router ID is seen
 Use the OSPF router ID as the tie breaker.

36. 37
Terminology: DRs and BDRs
 The
designateddesignated
router (DR)router (DR) is
responsible
for generating
LSAs on
behalf of all
routers
connected to
the same
segment

37. 38
DR Responsibility
 When a router sees a new or changed link-state, it sends
an LSA to its DR using a particular multicast address
 The DR then forwards the LSA to all the other routers
with whom it is adjacent
Minimizes the number of formal adjacencies that must
be formed and therefore the amount of LSU (link state
update) packet traffic in a multi-router network

38. 39
Basic OSPF Configuration
Router(config)# router ospf 1Router(config)# router ospf 1
 The number 1 in this example is a process-id #process-id # that
begins an OSPF process in the router
More than one process can be launched in a router,
but this is rarely necessary
Usually the same process-id is used throughout the
entire network, but this is not required
The process-id # can actually be any value from 1 to
"very large integer“
The process-id # cannot be ZERO
This is NOT the same as the AS# used in IGRP and
EIGRP

39. 40
Configuring OSPF Areas
 After identifying the OSPF process, you need to identify the interfaces that
you want to activate OSPF communications
Lab_A#config t
Lab_A(config)#router ospf 1
Lab_A(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
area ?
<0-4294967295> OSPF area ID as a decimal value
A.B.C.D OSPF area ID in IP address format
Lab_A(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
area 0
• Every OSPF network must have an area 0 (the backbone area) to which
other areas connect
 So in a multiple area network, there must be an area 0
 The wildcard mask represents the set of hosts supported by the network
and is really just the inverse of the subnet mask.

40. 41
OSPF Summary
 AD -100
 Hop count is unlimited
 Metric = Cost – 108
/BW
 Classless, VLSM
 Load balance up to SIX routers
 Require more processing power

41. 42
OSPF Configuration
• OSPF Process ID number is irrelevant. It can be the same on every
router on the network
• The arguments of the network command are the network number
(10.0.0.0) and the wildcard mask (0.255.255.255)
• Wildcards - A 0 octet in the wildcard mask indicates that the
corresponding octet in the network must match exactly
• A 255 indicates that you don’t care what the corresponding octet is
in the network number
• A network and wildcard mask combination of 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 would
match 1.1.1.1 only, and nothing else.
• The network and wildcard mask combination of 1.1.0.0 0.0.255.255
would match anything in the range 1.1.0.0–1.1.255.255

OSPF and Loopback
Interfaces
 Configuring loopback interfaces when using the OSPF routing
protocol is important
 Cisco suggests using them whenever you configure OSPF on a
router
 Loopback interfaces are logical interfaces, which are virtual,
software-only interfaces; they are not real router interfaces
 Using loopback interfaces with your OSPF configuration ensures
that an interface is always active for OSPF processes.
 The highest IP address on a router will become that router’s RID
 The RID is used to advertise the routes as well as elect the DR and
BDR.
 If you configure serial interface of your router with highest IP
Address this Address becomes RID of t is the RID of the router
because e router
 If this interface goes down, then a re-election must occur
 It can have an big impact when the above link is flapping

Overview
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is a Cisco-
proprietary routing protocol based on Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
(IGRP).
Released in 1994, Unlike IGRP, which is a classful routing protocol,
EIGRP supports CIDR and VLSM.
 it is probably one of the two most popular routing protocols in use
today.
Compared to IGRP, EIGRP boasts faster convergence times,
improved scalability, and superior handling of routing loops.
EIGRP is often described as a hybrid routing protocol, offering the
best of distance vector and link-state algorithms.

59. 60
Comparing EIGRP with IGRP
IGRP and EIGRP are compatible with each other.
EIGRP offers multiprotocol support, but IGRP does not.
Communication via Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP)
Best path selection via Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL)
Improved convergence time
Reduced network overhead

60. Introducing EIGRP
EIGRP supports:
Rapid convergence
Reduced bandwidth usage
Multiple network-layer protocols

61. 62
EIGRP Tables
• EIGRP maintains 3 tables
– Neighbor table
– Topology table
– Routing table

62. 63
Neighbor Discovery
There are three conditions that must be
met for neighborship establishment
Hello or ACK received
AS numbers match
Identical metrics (K values)
Hello
? AS
? K
K1 – BW
K2- Delay
K3-Load
K3-Reliability
K5-MTU

63. 64
 The metrics used by EIGRP in making routing decisions are (lower the metric the
better):
 bandwidth
 delay
 load
 Reliability
 MTU
 By default, EIGRP uses only:
 Bandwidth
 Delay
Analogies:
Think of bandwidth as the width of the pipe
and
delay as the length of the pipe.
 Bandwidth is the carrying capacity
 Delay is the end-to-end travel time.
Metric Calculation

64. 65
Neighbor Table
 The neighbor table is the most important table in EIGRP
 Stores address and interface of neighbor

65. 66
Topology Table
Give me information about all routes
Network

66. 67
Topology Table
The topology table is made up of all the EIGRP routing tables in the
autonomous system.
DUAL takes the information and calculates the lowest cost routes to each
destination.
By tracking this information, EIGRP routers can identify and switch to
alternate routes quickly.
The information that the router learns from the DUAL is used to determine
the successor route, which is the term used to identify the primary or best
route.
Every EIGRP router maintains a topology table. All learned routes to a
destination are maintained in the topology table.

67. 68
Routing Tables
 A successor is a route selected as the primary route to
use to reach a destination.
 DUAL calculates Successor (Primary Route) and places
it in the routing table (and topology table)
 Can have up to 4 successors of equal or unequal value
 DUAL calculates Feasible Successor (Backup Route)
and places it in the Topology Table.
 Promoted to successor if the route goes down if it has a
lower cost than current successor
 If no FS in Table - Send query
 Multiple feasible successors for a destination can be
retained in the topology table although it is not
mandatory

68. 69
EIGRP Concepts &
Terminology
 EIGRP routers that belong to different autonomous
systems (ASes) don’t automatically share routing
information
 The only time EIGRP advertises its entire routing table is
when it discovers a new neighbor and forms an
adjacency with it through the exchange of Hello packets
 When this happens, both neighbors advertise their entire
routing tables to one another
 After each has learned its neighbor’s routes, only
changes to the routing table are propagated

Chennai receives an update from Mumbai with a cost of 100, which is Mumbai's cost to reach 172.16.100.0, This
cost is referred to as the reported distance (RD)
Bangalore will report its cost to reach 172.16.100.0. Bangalore's RD is 350
Chennai will compute its cost to reach 172.16.100.0 via Mumbai and Bangalore and compare the metrics for the
two paths
Chennai's cost via Mumbai is 1100. Chennai's cost via Bangalore is 600. The lowest cost to reach a destination is
referred to as the feasible distance (FD) for that destination
Chennai's FD to 172.16.100.0 is 600. The next-hop router in the lowest-cost path to the destination is referred to as
the successor.
A feasible successor is a path whose reported distance is less than the feasible distance, and it is considered a
backup route.

70. 71
EIGRP Terms
 Feasible distance (FD) - This is the lowest calculated
metric to reach destination. This is the route that you will
find in the routing table, because it is considered the best
path
 Reported distance (RD) - The distance reported by an
adjacent neighbor to a specific destination.
 Interface information - The interface through which the
destination can be reached.
 Route status - The status of a route. Routes are identified
as being either passive, which means that the route is
stable and ready for use, or active, which means that the
route is in the process of being recomputed by DUAL

71. 72
 Successor – Current Route
 A successor is a route selected as the primary route to use to reach
a destination.
 Successors are the entries kept in the routing table.
 Feasible Successor - A backup route
 A feasible successor is a backup route.
 These routes are selected at the same time the successors are
identified, but they are kept in the topology table.
 Multiple feasible successors for a destination can be retained in the
topology table.

Operations

Reliable Transport Protocol
(RTP)
 Used by EIGRP for its routing updates in place of TCP
 EIGRP can call on RTP to provide reliable or unreliable service
 EIGRP uses reliable service for route updates
 Unreliable for Hellos
 Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP) is a transport layer protocol that
guarantees ordered delivery of EIGRP packets to all neighbors.
 On an IP network, hosts use TCP to sequence packets and ensure
their timely delivery. RIP uses UDP
 However, EIGRP is protocol-independent and does not rely on TCP/IP
to exchange routing information the way that RIP, IGRP, and OSPF
do.
 EIGRP uses RTP as its own proprietary transport layer protocol to
guarantee delivery of routing information.
 With RTP, EIGRP can multicast and unicast to different peers
simultaneously.

73. 74
Diffusing Update Algorithm
(DUAL)
 All route computations in EIGRP are handled by DUAL
 One of DUAL's tasks is maintaining a table of loop-free paths to
every destination.
 This table is referred to as the topology table
 DUAL saves all paths in the topology table
 The least-cost path(s) is copied from the topology table to the
routing table
 In the event of a failure, the topology table allows for very quick
convergence if another loop-free path is available
 If a loop-free path is not found in the topology table, a route
recomputation must occur
 DUAL queries its neighbors, who, in turn, may query their
neighbors, and so on...
 Hence the name "Diffusing" Update Algorithm

74. 75
VLSM Support
• EIGRP supports the use of Variable- Length Subnet
Masks
• Can use 30-bit subnet masks for point-to-point networks
• Because the subnet mask is propagated with every route
update, EIGRP also supports the use of discontiguous
subnets
• Discontiguous network is the one that has two or more
subnetworks of a classful network connected together by
different classful networks

Discovering Neighbors on
the Network

85. Cisco Discovery Protocol
CDP is a proprietary utility that gives you a summary of directly
connected switches, routers, and other Cisco devices.
CDP discovers neighboring devices regardless of which protocol
suite they are running.
Runs on the Data link layer
Physical media must support the Subnetwork Access Protocol
(SNAP) encapsulation.
Only give directly connected device
By default enabled, you can enable or disable

86. Discovering Neighbors with
CDP
CDP runs on routers with Cisco IOS®
software Release 10.3 or later and on Cisco
switches.
Show CDP ?
Summary information
includes:
 Device ID
 Local Interface
 Port ID
 Capabilities list
 Platform

87. 89
CDP
 CDP timer is how often CDP packets are transmitted to
all active interfaces.
Router(config)#cdp timer 90
 CDP holdtime is the amount of time that the device will
hold packets received from neighbor devices.
Router(config)#cdp holdtime 240

88. 90
Using CDP

89. 91
Using the show cdp
neighbors Command
The show cdp neighbor command (sh cdp nei for short) delivers
information about directly connected devices.

90. 92
CDP
show cdp neighbor detail
This command can be run on both routers
and switches, and it displays detailed
information about each device connected
to the device

91. 93
Using the show cdp entry
Command
The show cdp entry * command displays the same information as the show
cdp
neighbor details command.

92. 94
Additional CDP Commands
The show cdp traffic command displays information about
interface traffic, including the number of CDP packets sent
and received and the errors with CDP.

93. 95
CDP Commands
To disable the CDP on particular interface use
the "no cdp enable" command
To disable CDP on the entire router use the "no
cdp run" in global configuration mode.

94. 96
Summary
Cisco Discovery Protocol is an information-gathering tool used
by network administrators to get information about directly
connected devices.
CDP exchanges hardware and software device information
with its directly connected CDP neighbors.
You can enable or disable CDP on a router as a whole or on a
port-by-port basis.
The show cdp neighbors command displays information about
a router’s CDP neighbors.
The show cdp entry, show cdp traffic, and show cdp interface
commands display detailed CDP information on a Cisco
device.

96. Manage IP traffic as network access grows
Filter packets as they pass through the router
Why Use Access Lists?

97. 99
What are ACLs?
ACLs are lists of conditions that are applied to traffic traveling across
a router's interface.
These lists tell the router what types of packets to accept or deny.
Acceptance and denial can be based on specified conditions.
ACLs can be configured at the router to control access to a network
or subnet.
Some ACL decision points are source and destination addresses,
protocols, and upper-layer port numbers.

98. 100
Reasons to Create ACLs
The following are some of the primary reasons to create
ACLs:
Limit network traffic and increase network performance.
Provide traffic flow control.
Provide a basic level of security for network access.
Decide which types of traffic are forwarded or blocked at the router
interfaces
For example: Permit e-mail traffic to be routed, but block all telnet traffic.
If ACLs are not configured on the router, all packets passing through the
router will be allowed onto all parts of the network.

99. 101
ACL’s
 Different access list for Telnet
 When configuring ISDN you need to use access list
 Implicit deny at bottom
 All restricted statements should be on first
 There are two types
 Standard
 Extended

Types of Access Lists

103. How to Identify Access Lists
 Standard IP lists (1-99) test conditions of all IP packets from
source addresses.
 Extended IP lists (100-199) test conditions of source and destination
addresses, specific TCP/IP protocols, and destination ports.
 Standard IP lists (1300-1999) (expanded range).
 Extended IP lists (2000-2699) (expanded range).

104. 106
Standard ACLs
The full syntax of the standard ACL command is:
Router(config)#access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} source
[source-wildcard ]
The no form of this command is used to remove a standard ACL. This is
the syntax:
Router(config)#no access-list access-list-number
Config# Access-list 1 deny 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
Config# access-list 1 permit any

105. 107

access-list 99 permit any 255.255.255.255
2. Access-list 99 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
Access-list 99 deny host 192.168.1.1
access-list 99 permit any
3. Access-list 99 deny host 192.168.1.1
 Implicit deny at the end of every ACL

110. 112
Creating ACLs
ACLs are created in the global configuration mode. There are many
different types of ACLs including standard, extended, IPX, AppleTalk, and
others. When configuring ACLs on a router, each ACL must be uniquely
identified by assigning a number to it. This number identifies the type of
access list created and must fall within the specific range of numbers that is
valid for that type of list.
Since IP is by far the most
popular routed protocol,
addition ACL numbers have
been added to newer router
IOSs.
Standard IP: 1300-1999
Extended IP: 2000-
2699

Extended ACLs
Extended ACLs are used more often than standard ACLs because they provide a
greater range of control.
Extended ACLs check the source and destination packet addresses as well as
being able to check for protocols and port numbers.
At the end of the extended ACL statement, additional precision is gained from a
field that specifies the optional Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number.
Logical operations may be specified such as, equal (eq), not equal (neq), greater
than (gt), and less than (lt), that the extended ACL will perform on specific protocols.
Extended ACLs use an access-list-number in the range 100 to 199 (also from 2000
to 2699 in recent IOS).

Named ACLs
IP named ACLs were introduced in Cisco IOS Software Release 11.2,
allowing standard and extended ACLs to be given names instead of
numbers.
The characteristics of named accesslist:
 Identify an ACL using an alphanumeric name.
 You can delete individual statements in a named access list
 Named access lists must be specified as standard or extended
 You can use the ip access-list command to create named
access lists.
Named ACLs are not compatible with Cisco IOS releases prior to
Release 11.2.
The same name may not be used for multiple ACLs.

122. 125
Named ACL’s
 Numbered Access list did not give you any hint, What is
filtered
 Named ACL’s are both basic and advanced filtering tool
 Name cannot start with a number or !
 Cannot have space in the name
 Should not have ? Character anywhere in the name
 Name is case sensitive

123. 126
Named ACL Example
R1(config)#ip access-list standard blocksales
• R1(config-std-nacl)#deny 172.16.40.0 0.0.0.255
• R1(config-std-nacl)#permit any
• R1(config-std-nacl)#exit
• R1(config)#^Z
• R1#
#Int e 0
#Ip access-group blocksales out

124. 127
Verify Access List

125. 128
Basic Rules for ACLs
 Standard IP access lists should be applied closest to the destination.
 Extended IP access lists should be applied closest to the source.
 Use the inbound or outbound interface reference as if looking at the port
from inside the router.
 Statements are processed sequentially from the top of list to the bottom
until a match is found, if no match is found then the packet is denied.
 There is an implicit deny at the end of all access lists. This will not appear
in the configuration listing.
 Access list entries should filter in the order from specific to general.
Specific hosts should be denied first, and groups or general filters should
come last.
 Never work with an access list that is actively applied.
 New lines are always added to the end of the access list.
 A no access-list x command will remove the whole list. It is not possible
to selectively add and remove lines with numbered ACLs.
 Outbound filters do not affect traffic originating from the local router.
