Acronym for Open Shortest Paths First
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 ;
# 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)?
