OSPF Configuration Guide for Routers

The document provides a comprehensive configuration guide for OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) in a simple 3-router topology, detailing IP addressing, single and multi-area configurations, and various features such as passive interfaces and OSPF authentication. It also covers OSPF cost control, DR/BDR election, external route redistribution, and default route advertisement. Verification commands for OSPF are included, emphasizing its capabilities as a fast, link-state routing protocol using Dijkstra’s algorithm.

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) – Full

Configuration Guide

1. Basic Topology
Simple 3-router topology with Area 0 (Backbone) and Area 1 (Internal).

2. IP Addressing Plan
R1: G0/0 [Link]/30 (Area 0), G0/1 [Link]/24 (Area 1)
R2: G0/0 [Link]/30 (Area 0)
R3: G0/0 [Link]/24 (Area 1)

3. Single-Area Configuration
R1:
router ospf 1
router-id [Link]
network [Link] [Link] area 0
network [Link] [Link] area 0

R2:
router ospf 1
router-id [Link]
network [Link] [Link] area 0

R3:
router ospf 1
router-id [Link]
network [Link] [Link] area 0

4. Multi-Area Configuration
R1 (ABR):
router ospf 1
router-id [Link]
network [Link] [Link] area 0
network [Link] [Link] area 1

R2 (Area 0):
router ospf 1
router-id [Link]
network [Link] [Link] area 0

R3 (Area 1):
router ospf 1
router-id [Link]
network [Link] [Link] area 1

5. Passive Interfaces
router ospf 1
passive-interface default
no passive-interface GigabitEthernet0/0

6. OSPF Authentication
Simple: ip ospf authentication-key cisco123
ip ospf authentication

MD5: ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 mysecurekey


ip ospf authentication message-digest

7. OSPF Cost Control


ip ospf cost 50
or
auto-cost reference-bandwidth 1000

8. DR/BDR Election
R1: ip ospf priority 255 (Always DR)
R2: ip ospf priority 0 (Never DR)

9. External Route Redistribution


ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
router ospf 1
redistribute static subnets

10. Default Route Advertisement


ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
router ospf 1
default-information originate

11. Verification Commands


show ip ospf neighbor
show ip ospf interface
show ip ospf database
show ip route ospf

12. Summary
OSPF is a fast, link-state, open-standard routing protocol using Dijkstra’s SPF algorithm.
Supports multiple areas, authentication, DR/BDR, and external route redistribution.
