OSPF(Open Shortest Path First) Routing protocol configuration on Packet Tracer

OSPF

  • Link State Protocol
  • Open Standard
  • Successor of RIP
  • Uses Dijkstra(shortest Path first(SPF) algorithm)
  • Classless routing protocol
  • Updates are sent through multicast IP address 224.0.0.5
  • Triggered updates & periodic updates
  • Hello packets are sent every 10 secs
  • Dead time is 40 secs
  • Administrative distance is 110
  • Metric= cost =10^8/ Bandwidth in bps(CISCO)
  • Unlimited hop count
  • Faster Convergence
  • Hierarchical design with multiple areas
  • One area has to be designated as Area 0
  • Area 0(zero) is called the backbone area

    Neighbor

    1.  Routers that share a common link become neighbors
    2. Neighbors are discovered by hello packets
    3. To become neighbors the following should match
    • Area ID
    • Hello and dead intervals
    • Authentication

    Adjacency

    1. Adjacencies are formed once neighbor relation is established
    2. In Adjacencies the database details are exchanged

    OSPF TABLES

    Neighbor Table

    It contains directly connected routers information

    Database Table

    It contains complete topology of the network

    Routing Table

    It contains directly connected networks and best path information is available, which gets from database table.

    Wildcard mask= Global Subnet mask-Customized subnet mask

    Eg: 255.255.255.255                                     255.255.255.255
          255.255.255.0                                         255.255.255.240
       ------------------------       OR                              -----------------------------
           0.0.0.255                                                   0.0.0.15
    ---------------------------                                       ------------------------------


    Syntax
    Router(Config)#Router OSPF <pid>(process id 1-65535)
    Router(Config-Router)#Network <Network id> <wildcard mask> area <area no>(any numbers)


    Verification commands
    Router#show ip ospf neighbor
    To check the neighbor table.

    Router#show ip ospf database
    To check the database table.
