| Is it possible to set up OSPF with just two routers other than frame relay point to point?
If so how?
I have done what the book says, but they have three router C is serial connection to B this is a point to point
Router A to B is ethernet
Router A
Int e0
Ip address 10.64.0.1 255.255.255.0
Router ospf 1
Network 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 area 0
Router B
Int e0
ip address 10.64.0.2 255.255.255.0
int s0
ip address 10.2.1.2 255.255.255.0
rotuer ospf 50
network 10.2.1.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
network 10.64.0.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
sh run config
backbone not set (disabled)
I am not getting a return for OSPF with
Sh ip route
If a network has only one area, it does not have to be configured as area 0
do I need to get a third router?
Thanks

Yes, it is. Your setup with an ethernet between the routers is ok. Give them some static routes (and configure OSPF to redistribute the statics), so that they can learn something from each other.

First, it's not that "a network has an area"; it's the other way around. Second, in OSPF there is one area that MUST exist, and that is area 0 (the backbone). | |

| could you give an example of redistributing some static address?
The commands would be helpful would be helpful
I just passed the switching test- I am crawling away from set based switching cats around.ug

router ospf xxx
redistribute static
...
ip route a.b.c.d e.f.g.h i.j.l.m
...
Make sure your static routes show in your routing table. | |

| I tried this, pg 319 cisco press
default-information originate always
eastwing(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0
eastwing(config)#router ospf 1
eastwing(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
eastwing(config-router)#default-information originate always
Looking for this now
redistribute static
