We have learned from the previous chapters, once you enable OSPF on a router, it will start sending “hello packets” to the attached router, and in case it hears back a hello packet from the nearby router then the OSFP neighborship will be formed. Just to mention that...

When I was doing the previous LAB, I came across the router id, and I told you that I will speak about it later. The router id in OSPF is nothing more than how the OSPF router is represented to his neighbor. You can think it is like the name of the router in the OSPF...

In this chapter, I will do a LAB to show you how to configure basic OSPF on the backbone area. The whole idea of this chapter is to make you familiar with the OSPF configuration CLI on Huawei and to show you how OSPF would discover the remote networks once it is...

In OSPF, the routers will have different name. Some of the names: Backbone Router Area Border Router Autonomous System Border Router Backbone Router / Internal Router A backbone router is a router that has all its connected network in area 0. Let’s see this...

Based on the last chapter, we know that OSPF routers will form neighborship, exchange LSA packets, build up the LSDB, run SFP algorithm and add the best routes to their routing table. For this to happen, the routers should be in the same OSPF area. The main area for...

As already explained, once OSPF is enabled on all routers, they will start exchanging LSA’s to each other in order to build up LSDB for each router. But what if we have the following scenario: This is a multi-access broadcast network. We have 8 routers connected to...
