| Also do search on cisco.com website. Typing OSPF in the search field will give you loads ofresults. Read the articles for configuring basic OSPF networks and build on that. | |

| Ospf is a very smart routing protocol, it uses LSA = link state advertisements to send the updates to the routing table.
Ospf knows about the whole network not just neighboring devices like RIP does.
Ospf has a good convergence factor and all routing tables should syn pretty well compared to RIP which is slower and has routing loop issues.
Rip send very large chunks of info only to its neighboring devices.
Osfp Send small chunks to all networks and devices.
Goodluck! |
