configuring OSPF

[dnoy]

I have never used OSPF before. Im am just trying to get the basics down. Can anyone help me configure two routers using OSPF just to get me started. I am using cisco IOS (12.2)

Thanks

My guru always told me that if you want to learn something, the best way is learn it on your own. I asked him the same exact question once (OSPF), and he just stared at me with a blank face. Well, he was right.

Cisco's website is an excellent learning resource for OSPF, among just about everything else....

OSPF between two routers is a bit trivial. If you really want to learn, try 3, and put them in a loop configuration.

I used the book `Cisco routers for IP routing' for OSPF basics. ISBN 1-57610-421-4.

It contains some theory, just enough to get you started and some examples.

There are plenty of more in depth books around, but I felt gave a good intro to the subject.

The Semester 5 book of the Cisco Academy series has some good labs and reading on OSPF. With careful shopping on Ebay or Amazon's marketplace you can get the book for something around 5-10 bucks used. There are PDFs floating around on Google.

On router A:
router ospf 100
network xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx area 0

On router B:
router ospf 100
network xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx area 0


Once you set them up, a "show ip ospf database" or "show ip ospf neighbor detail" command will help you start out understanding it.

has anyone tried cross platform OSPF configuration ie. IBM 2212/2216 with Cisco 3640 and LInkproof ?
