OSPF Stub


The following restrictions apply to stub areas: 
  •   You cannot create a virtual link through a stub area.
  •   A stub area cannot contain an AS boundary router.
  •   You cannot configure the backbone as a stub area.
  •   You cannot configure an area as both a stub area and an not-so-stubby area (NSSA).

Access-list at SVI

SVI (Switch Virtual Interfaces) We use the SVI for inter vlan routing. In this scenario I will configure the access list with SVI. In this scenario I want to permit vlan 10 network to vlan 50 Server farm. Vlan 10 and vlan 20 can communicate each other. First create vlan and then interface vlan#. Switch(config)#vlan 10 Switch(config)#interface vlan 10 Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.10.254 255.255.255.0 Switch(config)#vlan 20 Switch(config)#interface vlan 20 Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.20.254 255.255.255.0 Switch(config)#vlan 50 Switch(config)#interface vlan 50 Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.50.254 255.255.255.0 when we finish the vlan interface create make sure the switch port are belong to each vlan. Port to vlan assign configure is Switch(config)#interface g0/1 Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10 Switch(config)#interface g0/2 Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20 Switch(config)#int...

Why does OSPF need backbone area?

Why does OSPF require all traffic between non-backbone areas to pass through a backbone area (area 0)?   Because inter-area OSPF is distance vector, it is vulnerable to routing loops. It avoids loops by mandating a loop-free inter-area topology, in which traffic from one area can only reach another area through area 0.
