From the link state database, a routing table is built. This calculation is based on Dijkstra‟s model of calculating the shortest path from one point to another. OSPF Standards supported on Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 The Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 supports the following standards: RFC 1253 (OSPF MIB) ...

OSPF Network Types were created to allow OSPF neighboring between routers over different types of network infrastructures. That being the case, each interface can be configured to support each network type. The following table defines the network types and usages that the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 supports.
ECMP is a feature, which will load balance routed IP traffic across up to four equal cost paths. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 supports ECMP operation for OSPF, RIP, static routes, and default routes. There are a few benefits of ECMP when used with OSPF: 1) no need to rerun Dijkstra should the main path fail, the other ECMP path(s) will automatically take the load.

6. Security The Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 implementation of OSPF includes security mechanisms to prevent the OSPF routing domain from being attacked by unauthorized routers. This prevents someone from joining an OSPF domain and advertising false information in its OSPF LSAs. Likewise, it prevents a misconfigured router from joining an OSPF domain.

When forming an adjacency over ATM link, both routers must be able to support Inverse ARP which will map the IP address to a PVC. Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 will do this automatically, however in the case that Ethernet Routing Switch is connecting to another router, ensure that Inverse ARP is enabled on the other router.
When an ASBR imports external routes, it may import routes info OSPF using external Type 1 or Type 2 metrics. This will give a four-level routing hierarchy as show in the table below according to routing preference. ERS 8600 / 8800 OSPF Technical Configuration Guide November 2010...

On the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, there are no configuration steps to enable a Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 for ABR. As soon as more than one area is configured, the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 is automatically configured as an OSPF ABR. The following is an example on how to add an OSPF...

The above procedure is fine if you don‟t have a large OSPF network, as all OSPF routes will be distributed to RIP. Instead, you can configure the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 ASBR to distribute only a default route instead of all OSPF routes to RIP.

This is the default behavior with the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600. Otherwise, if not set, it informs the area border router to drop the external route. A route policy can be created on the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 manipulate the N/p-bit.
