Usage Guidelines
•
NBMA (Non Broadcast Multi Access), PMP (Point-to-Multipoint), and P2P (Point-to-Point) OSPF
non-broadcast modes are supported over Ethernet interfaces (broadcast media).
•
Neighboring routers on non-broadcast OSPF networks must be statically configured, because lack of
OSPF multicast capabilities prevents using normal OSPF Hello protocol discovery.
•
In the case of NBMA interface the static neighbor eligibility for becoming a DR can be configured
while it is not necessary for point-to-multipoint and point-to-point interfaces.
•
An interface connected to this neighbor must also be configured as a non-broadcast interface, which
can be either point-to-multipoint or point-to-point, by using the
•
For the correct working of an OSPF NBMA network, a fully meshed network is mandatory. Also, the
neighbor eligibility configuration for a router on every other router should match the routers interface
priority configuration.
