OSPF over Frame Relay ( Point to Point , Point to Multipoint NBMA)

I hope this blog will help for easy referencing in Labbing framrelay with OSPF .when i doing first time Labbing , router uses as framerelay switch hv some mismatch configuration.
I hope this information will be informatics for CCNP Route Lab.All received are copied from
CCNP Route Lab manual . Just Only copied the most important role of this lab.

Objectives

 

  1. Configure OSPF over Frame Relay.
  2. Use non-broadcast and point-to-multipoint OSPF network types.
  3. Modify default OSPF timer
 Step 1: Configure Frame Relay and addressing on the HQ, EAST, and WEST routers.

 Step 2: Configure the Frame Relay switch

 Step 3: Configure OSPF network type NBMA.

 On EAST and WEST, change the Frame Relay interfaces to have OSPF priority 0. This priority ensures that HQ becomes the DR.(For Point to Point Type)
Configure neighbor statements on HQ pointing toward EAST and WEST.And EAST and WEST also Pointing toward to HQ .

Step 4: Change the network type to point-to-multipoint


 Step 5: Change OSPF timers.

Q : What are some disadvantages to changing the timers if they are not tuned correctly?

Ans : If timers are not tuned correctly, there are many negative side effects. Hello packets can saturate a slower link or overload a slower router. Route instability and route flapping can occur from bad timers having an adjacency come up and down. If timers are tuned to take too long, reconvergence of a network after topology changes can be slower.

Challenge: Minimal Hello Intervals

Configure the Fast Ethernet link between EAST and WEST to lower the convergence time using the ip ospf dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier multiplier command. This command sets the dead interval to 1 second. Hellos will be sent at the rate of multiplier per second. 

Use the following Tcl script to verify connectivity to all addresses in the topology.
 
HQ# tclsh
HQ(tcl)#
foreach address {
10.1.1.1
10.1.2.1
10.1.3.1
10.1.123.1
10.1.123.2
10.1.123.3
10.1.23.2
10.1.23.3
} {
ping $address }

  1. Hi Zaw,

    I like your notes. However, about this question:

    What are some disadvantages to changing the timers if they are not tuned correctly?

    I think that the main problem if you do not have exact match on hello timers is that you will lost the adjancency. There will neve become neighbors.

    I find out this necessary condition for two router become neighbors(Please note that the timers are included):

    1. Subnet mask used on the subnet.
    2. Subnet number ( as derived using the subnet mask and each router's interface IP address)
    3. Hello Interval
    4. Dead Interval
    5. OSPF area ID


    6.Must pass authentication checks ( if used
