Cisco CCNP / BSCI Certification Exam: Five Essential OSPF Details
Summary
To ace the BSCI exam and earn your Cisco CCNP certification, mastering numerous details about OSPF is crucial. Here are five important yet frequently overlooked OSPF details, shared by Chris Bryant, CCIE12933, to help you succeed.
Key Points
When preparing for the BSCI exam, the details can be overwhelming. Here are five critical OSPF points you should remember:
1. Virtual Link Command: This command includes the area number of the transit area. If Area 0 uses authentication, the virtual link command must also include an authentication statement. Since the virtual link extends Area 0 logically, it must be configured with the same authentication type and password.
2. Route Redistribution: OSPF does not require a seed metric when redistributing routes into its domain. The default cost for these routes is 20. However, use the "subnets" option to redistribute subnets into OSPF.
3. External OSPF Routes: There are two types. E2, the default, reflects the cost from the ASBR to the destination. E1 accounts for the entire path cost from the local router to the destination.
4. Stub Areas: All routers in a stub area must agree on its designation. In a total stub area, the ABR needs the "no-summary" option, but all routers must acknowledge the stub status.
5. Default Routes in Stub Areas: Routers in stub areas have a default route for reaching external destinations. In total stub areas, this route also covers inter-area networks.
Conclusion
Achieving your CCNP certification through the BSCI exam demands dedication and a keen eye for detail. Keep focused, study diligently, and you’ll reach your goal!
