OSPF

OSPF is a powerful routing protocol, equipped with features to handle virtually any
configuration requirement that might reasonably be found within an Autonomous
System. With this power comes a fair degree of complexity, which the sheer number of
objects in the MIB will attest to. Care has therefore been taken, in constructing this
MIB, to define default values for virtually every object, to minimize the amount of
parameterization required in the typical case. That default configuration is as follows:
Given the following assumptions:
♦ IP has already been configured
♦ The if Table has already been configured
♦ If Speed is estimated by the interface drivers
♦ The OSPF Process automatically discovers all IP
♦ Interfaces and creates corresponding OSPF Interfaces
♦ The TOS 0 metrics are autonomously derived from if Speed
♦ The OSPF Process automatically creates the Areas required for the Interfaces
The simplest configuration of an OSPF process requires that:
♦ The OSPF Process is enabled.
♦ Area Data Structure and Area Stub Metric Table
♦ The Area Data Structure describes the OSPF Areas that the router participates
in. The Area Stub Metric Table describes the metrics advertised into a stub area
by the default router(s).
Link State Database and External Link State Database
The Link State Database is provided primarily to provide detailed information for
network debugging.
Address Table and Host Tables
The Address Range Table and Host Table are provided to view configured Network
Summary and Host Route information.
Interface and Interface Metric Tables
