Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) developed by the OSPF working
group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Designed expressly for IP networks, OSPF
supports IP subnetting and tagging of externally derived routing information. OSPF also allows packet
authentication and uses IP multicast when sending and receiving packets.

Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software The networking devices running OSPF detect topological changes in the network, flood link-state updates to neighbors, and quickly converge on a new view of the topology. Each OSPF router in the network soon has the same topological view again. OSPF allows multiple equal-cost paths to the same destination. Since all link-state information is flooded and used in the SPF calculation, multi

Comparison of Cisco IOS XR OSPFv3 and OSPFv2 Much of the OSPFv3 protocol is the same as in OSPFv2. OSPFv3 is described in RFC 2740. The key differences between the Cisco IOS XR OSPFv3 and OSPFv2 protocols are as follows: � OSPFv3 expands on OSPFv2 to provide support for IPv6 routing prefi

Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software Areas Areas allow the subdivision of an autonomous system into smaller, more manageable networks or sets of adjacent networks. As shown in Figure 10, autonomous system A consists of three areas: Area 0, Area 1, and Area 2. OSPF hides the topology of an area from the rest of the autonomous system. The network topology for an area is visible only to routers inside that area. When OSPF rou

Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software Routers The OSPF network is composed of ABRs, ASBRs, and interior routers. Area Border Routers An area border routers (ABR) is a router with multiple interfaces that connect directly to networks in two or more areas. An ABR runs a separate copy of the OSPF algorithm and maintains separate routing data for each area that is attached to, including the backbone area. ABRs also send configu

For the routers in a stub area to be able to route packets to destinations outside the stub area, a default route is injected by the ABR attached to the stub area. The cost of the default route is 1 (default) or is determined by the value specified in the default-cost command. Link-State

Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software � Interarea-prefix LSA for ABRs (Type 3)—Advertises internal networks to routers in other areas (interarea routes). Type 3 LSAs may represent a single network or set of networks aggregated into one prefix. Only ABRs generate Type 3 LSAs. In OSPFv3, addresses for these LSAs are expressed as “prefix and prefix length” instead of “address and mask.” The default route is expressed as a pre

Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing OSPF on Cisco IOS XR Software In the case in which an area cannot be connected to Area 0, you must configure a virtual link between that area and Area 0. The two endpoints of a virtual link are ABRs, and the virtual link must be configured in both routers. The common nonbackbone area to which the two routers belong is called a transit area. A virtual link specifies the transit area and the router ID of the other vir

The chosen interval is within the boundary of the user-specified value ranges.
