OSPF

Definition

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol in form of a graph, operating within a single autonomous system (AS) which here we call it an Area.

Project description

../_images/Map3.png

In this project, we want to ping routers from each other. There are 7 routers in 5 Areas which has different background colors in the image.

Warning

Because we should set the area of the edge routers same as the area of destination router, here in this examples area 67 and area 14 are deleted as the area only consists of an edge router.

Configuration

Note

Becuase configuration of the interfaces and VPCs IPs are similar to the previous projects, I simply just write the routing codes.

Warning

The area number of the backbone area should be lower than others, it won’t work otherwise. In this project it is area 0.
