All rights reserved.BSCI 3 CCNP – BSCI Bachkhoa Networking Academy Học viện mạng Bách Khoa - www.bkacad.com Different Network Types and OSPF There are three distinct classifications of physical network media that OSPF can differentiate between. Each of these network types requires a slightly different configuration to optimize the performance of OSPF. Cisco IOS Software allows five main network types to be configured, as displayed in Table 5-5. © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Consider its capability to accommodate either broadcast or nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) network types. OSPF responds accordingly by altering its operation to reflect the configuration that you have given it. © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.BSCI 6 CCNP – BSCI Bachkhoa Networking Academy Học viện mạng Bách Khoa - www.bkacad.com Broadcast Networks Set an interface to operate in broadcast network mode when the network is a fully meshed. When this command is applied to an interface, OSPF elects a DR/BDR, builds an adjacency with the DR, and builds neighbor relationships with all other OSPF routers in the network. © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.BSCI 7 CCNP – BSCI Bachkhoa Networking Academy Học viện mạng Bách Khoa - www.bkacad.com Nonbroadcast Networks When configuring an interface as nonbroadcast, OSPF cannot perform multicasting on that link. Lack of multicast functionality impacts OSPF’s operation because OSPF Hellos cannot be properly transmitted. Physical Frame Relay interfaces and multipoint subinterfaces are recognized as nonbroadcast by default. The following alternatives allow you to make OSPF operate when a nonbroadcast type network is encountered: –Change the network type of OSPF. This is the easiest change but is not possible in every instance. –Manually define the neighbors. This forces adjacencies that are created by sending unicast Hello packets. –Alter the behavior of the Layer 2 protocol. © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

An OSPF point-to-multipoint network has the following benefits compared to nonbroadcast multiaccess and point-to-point networks: –Point-to-multipoint is easier to configure because it requires no configuration of neighbor commands. Point-to-multipoint connections consume only one IP subnet and require no designated router election process. –Point-to-multipoint has a fully or partial meshed topology. –Point-to-multipoint can be more reliable in fully meshed networks because it maintains connectivity in case of virtual circuit failure. –When you configure the OSPF network type as point-to- multipoint, routing between two routers not directly connected goes through the router (hub) that has virtual circuits to both routers (spokes). © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.
