OSPF in Point-To-Multipoint Non-Broadcast
OSPF in Point-To-Multipoint Non-Broadcast
1. Point-to-point (Cisco)
2. Broadcast (Cisco)
3. Non-broadcast (RFC 2328)
4. Point-to-multipoint (RFC 2328)
5. Point-to-multipoint non-broadcast (Cisco)
Topology
Pic. 1 - Topology Diagram.
Workflow
1. Get familiar with the topology.
2. Read the 'Task List'.
3. Read the 'Questions' and provide the answers BEFORE configuring the routers.
4. Configure the lab according to the 'Task List' .
5. Compare the answers (step 3) with the lab results.
Task List
Configure IP addresses as per topology diagram and use encapsulation Frame-Relay on
S0/0 interfaces.
Make sure that you use only DLCIs specified in the topology diagram (pic. 1) and routers
do not learn any other other DLCIs dynamically.
Assume that pseudo broadcast is not supported.
Configure OSPF with all links in area 0. Make sure that R2 can ping R3's loopback0 and
S0/0 interfaces (no additional layer 3 to layer 2 mappings).
Questions
1. What is the behavior of OSPF point-to-multipoint non-broadcast mode compared to non-
broadcast on Frame-Relay links?
2. How does point-to-multipoint mode differ from point-to-multipoint non-broadcast OSPF
mode?
3. What are the default hello/dead interval timers on point-to-multipoint non-broadcast
links?
4. What is going to be the next-hop address on R2 for 172.16.103.0/24 using point-to-
multipoint links? Why?
Lab Solution
Note!
Lab is similar to Lab 4 (previous post). The only difference is the mandatory 'neighbor' statement
on R1. Except for that, the behavior is just like on point-to-multipoint networks.
