OSPF Lab 4 – OSPFv2 Multiarea Adjacency.

Objetivo: Crear un laboratorio para probar OSPFv2 Multiarea Adjacency feature.

Teniendo como base el siguiente escenario:

BR4 y BR5 son entidades pertenecientes a la red mostrada. BR4 tiene doble enlace con los routers de distribución WAN y el enlace activo por costo ospf es a través del WDR1:

Para compobar:

O IA     145.5.5.0 [110/84] via 145.1.1.6, 01:24:33, Ethernet0/1

Sin embargo, el WDR utiliza una intraarea route para llegar a la lan de BR4 a pesar de la conocer una ruta interarea de menor costo (esto se debe a las reglas de ospf a la hora de preferir rutas intra a inter):

WDR2#sh ip route
…
      145.1.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 13 subnets, 3 masks
O        145.1.1.0/30 [110/20] via 145.1.1.9, 00:00:10, Ethernet0/1

      145.4.0.0/25 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O        145.4.4.0 [110/410] via 145.1.4.6, 00:01:35, Serial1/0

O        145.5.5.0 [110/74] via 145.1.5.2, 00:01:35, Serial1/1

Si un usuario de la lan de BR5 quisiera comunicarse con la lan de BR4, el tráfico pasa por WDR2 y va directamente por el enlace secundario de BR4:

BR5#traceroute 145.4.4.1 source ethernet 0/0
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 145.4.4.1
  1 145.1.5.1 8 msec 12 msec 8 msec
  2 145.1.4.6 20 msec *  20 msec

En este escenario, se requiere que todo el tráfico desde y hacia BR4 pase por el WDR1, lo cual no es satisfecho con la configuración actual.

Para lograr lo requerido hay diferentes variantes. La que vamos a usar es OSPFv2 Multiarea Adjacency.

From OSPF Configuration Guide:


Information About OSPFv2 Multiarea Adjacency

OSPFv2 Multiarea Adjacency Overview

The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol allows you to divide a network topology into separate areas. The interface on which OSPF is configured belongs to only one area at any given point of time. This causes suboptimal routing for certain topologies, due to intra-area route preference over the interarea routes.

Open Shortest Path First version 2 (OSPFv2) allows a single physical link to be shared by multiple areas. This creates an intra-area path in each of the corresponding areas sharing the same link. All areas have an interface on which OSPF is configured. One of these interfaces is designated as the primary interface and others as secondary interfaces.

The OSPFv2 Multiarea Adjacency feature allows you to configure a link on the primary interface to enable optimized routing in multiple areas. Each multiarea interface is announced as a point-to-point unnumbered link. The multiarea interface exists as a logical construct over an existing primary interface. The neighbor state on the primary interface is independent of the neighbor state of the multiarea interface. The multiarea interface establishes a neighbor relationship with the corresponding multiarea interface on the neighboring device. You can only configure multiarea adjacency on an interface that has two OSPF speakers. In case of native broadcast networks, the interface must be configured as an OSPF point-to-point type to enable the interface for multiarea adjacency.

Use the ip ospf multi-area command to configure multiarea adjacency on the primary OSPFv2 interface.



Después de añadir los comandos de configuración, el escenario se ajustó a los requerimientos:
