Routers R1 and R2 were configured with OSPF routing and subnets were created for different departments on each router. Router R0 was configured as the central router to connect R1 and R2 along with providing DHCP and DNS services. Ping tests verified connectivity between devices on different subnets routing through the OSPF configured routers.
2. What is IP Routing?
Routing is the act of moving information (data
packets) across an inter-network from a source node
to a destination node.
Routing decisions for a packet is taken by the routers
on the basis of the routing tables
Routing tables of the routers are either provided to
the routers by the Network Admins or that is
generated by the routers it self by using dynamic
routing techniques
3. WHAT IS IGPs ?
IGP stands for Interior Gateway Protocols, is the set
consists of protocols could be implemented on the
network owned by some Autonomous System (AS) or
firm ( Privately owned)
For the transfer of packets between different ASs we
require Exterior Gateway Protocols e.g. BGP
The IGPs set consists protocols like OSPF,RIP,IGRP
EIGRP etc.
4. About OSPF
The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is an
Interior Gateway Protocol used to distribute routing
information within a single Autonomous System
It is defined in Reference For Comments document
(RFC 2328)
OSPF is a link-state routing protocol, which means
that changes in routing are based on the status and
speeds of the physical links in the networked
routers, and changes are immediately propagated to
every router on the network
5. Why OSPF
It is most used IGP
It has several features like:
• Consists of areas and autonomous systems
• Minimizes routing update traffic
• Allows scalability
• Supports VLSM/CIDR
• Has unlimited hop count
• Allows multi-vendor deployment (open standard)
6. Problem Statement
Lets consider that we have to configure a network
for a medium level firm
The firm consists three CISCO ROUTERS of 2600
series (with IOS v-12) which are to be configured
using the OSPF v2
Sub-networks for different departments finance,
marketing, sales and HR has to be created(Routers
R1 and R2 )
There is also a Wi-Fi network to be configured for
Wi-Fi devices (Router R3)
8. About Cisco's Packet Tracer
Cisco Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulation
program, widely used for training, research and
education (using v5.3.2)
As it is not feasible to use actual physical router just for
experimental purposes, so we require some simulator to
do the leanings in which we are primarily interested
There are benefits of using the simulator as well like we
can approximate the behavior of our system in actual
scenario
