[Acronym] for __O__pen __S__hortest __P__aths __F__irst

An Interior Link State Routing [Protocol].

Witness the adventures of a total newbie screwing a clients network completely!

Ok, to get OSPF going first hack zebra.conf and ospfd.conf


The remote stations need stuff like this ;

 # [Zebra].conf
 #
 hostname whatever
 password passwd
 enable password passwd

 router ospf
   network 192.168.67.0/24 area 0

 #
 log /var/log/ospd.log
 # end

ONLY advertise networks that this device is responsible for.

[Isomer] says to stick everything in area 0, <shrug> so do it his way ok..

PerryLorier: Yeah, because dealing with area's is a bitch, and if you are just learning, stick everything in area 0, when your network gets large enough that convergance times are starting to become a worry, think about different areas then, but before that time, stick everything in area 0 and you'll save yourself a lot of hassle.  Also, remember that Area 0 is "special" to [OSPF] so don't decide to use area 42 or anything instead, [ItWillBreak(tm)]
