Routing Information Proto col 114 R outing Inf or matio n Pr otocol In a routed environment, routers commun icate with on e another to k eep track of available routes.

Routing Information Proto col 115 RIPv1 RIP version 1 use broadcast User Datagram Protocol (UDP) data packets for the regular routing u pdates. The main disadvantage is that the routing updates do not carry subnet mask information. Hence, the router cannot determine wh ether the route is a subnet rout e or a host route. It is of limited usage after[...]

OSPF 132 Figure 17 OSPF area types Types of OSPF routing devices As shown in the figure, OSPF uses th e following types of routing devices: • Internal Router (IR)—a router that has all of its interfaces within the same area. IRs maintain LSDBs identical to those of other routin g devices within the local area. • Area Border Router (AB R)—a [...]

OSPF 133 Neighbors and adjacencies In areas with two or more routing device s, neighbors and adjacencies are formed. Neighbors are routing device s that maintain informatio n about each others’ health . To establish neighbor relationships, routing devi ces periodically send hello packets on ea ch of their interfaces. All routing devices that shar[...]

OSPF 134 Internal versus external routing To ensure effective pro cessing of network traffic, every routing device on your n etwork needs to know how to send a packet (directly or indirectly) to any ot her location/destination in your network. This is referred to as internal routing and can be done with static routes or usin g active internal rou t[...]

This helps establish a preferre[...]

OSPF 136 Using the area ID to assign the OSPF area number The OSPF area number is defined in the areaid <IP address> option. The octet format is used in order to be compatible with two different systems of notation used by other OSPF network ven dors. There are two valid ways to designate an area ID: • Placing the area number in the last oc[...]

OSPF 137 Electing the designated router and backup In any area with more than two routing devices, a Desi gnated Router (DR) is elected as the c entral contact for database exchanges among neighbors, and a Backup Designated Router (BDR) is elected in case the DR fails. DR and BDR elections are made through the hello proces s. The election can be in[...]

OSPF 138 In more complex OSPF areas with multiple ABRs or AS BRs (such as area 0 and area 2 in the figur e), there are multiple routes leading from the area. In such ar eas, traffic for unrecognized destinations cannot tell which route leads upstream wi thout further configuration. To resolve the situation and select one default route among multipl[...]

OSPF 139 Authentication OSPF protocol exchanges can be auth enticated so that only trusted ro uting devices can participate. This ensures less proces sing on routing devices that are not listening to OSPF pack ets. OSPF allows packet authentication and uses IP mu lticast when sending and receiving packets.
