notes: OSPF and Frame Relay

Keypoints:

1.  matches network types or interface types
      i.e. physical interface (multipoint) while IP OSPF type is point-to-point
      - timers wont match if the interface types are different.

2.  Remember that Broadcast & Non-Broadcast try to elect DR/BDR (hub must be the DR)

3.  "Broadcast" keyword statement if using frame maps
      - not running non-broadcast unicast fashion need a broadcast parameter.

4. Router ID
    - read first the LAB if there is requirement for RID same as BGP
      router ospf 1
      router-id 1.1.1.1 

5.  DR /BDR
     - the higher # the better
        first - highest priority
        2nd - highest RID

6.  DR @ Multipoint FR
     - multiple spokes connected to the hub router.
     - ensure all host has a direct connectivity to the hub.
note: OSPF packets have TTL of 1, so if you have a "frame-map" statement going from spoke to spoke still will not be able not talk to each other.

CCIE LAB:  Frame relay network by default will show up believing that other routers are DR.
          a.  you can use priority command on the interface  @ spoke set priority to 0.

7. Some network interface types requires neighbor command like non-broadcast and point-to-multipoint nonbroadcast. so it is important to look at network type using " show ip ospf interface"
       router ospf pid
       neighbor {ip} [priority {pri}] [cost {cost}]
              note: the cost  here are associated to the cost of the link.


Problem Areas in Frame Relay

Network Type:
connecting point-to-point/point-to-multipoint to physical interface:

to verify the network type:  show ip ospf interface

by default
physical interface network type is non-broadcast  with hello/dead  30/120 then must have DR.
on another side of the link (can be the hub) subinterface running in point-to-multipoint will have hello/dead of 30/120 and dont elect DR.

hub (point-to-multipoint)-----------------------(physical)spoke
bye default it will never peer-up

so carefully watch in the ccie lab if you are not allowed to hange the network type of a router.
