Hi,
The OSPF design guide on the CCO tells me that the OSPF process id's on
routers need not match..........
Below is the statement verbatim....from pg 11
"The OSPF process-id is a numeric value local to the router. It does not
have to match process-ids on other
routers. It is possible to run multiple OSPF processes on the same router,
but is not recommended as it creates
multiple database instances that add extra overhead to the router."
So does it really matter what process ID we put....?
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi Derek,
To add on, ....You can have on one Cisco router decimal format and on other
router with dotted format.....being freaky :-)..... It works, provided
conversation matches to same OSPF area number. However, In order to avoid
any discrepancies, it better to have one type of format throughout the OSPF
domain.
If you find it hard on the IP address to decimal conversation. There are
many freeware conversation software on the web... However I found this to
be easy: http://www.datadosen.se/FeelTheBase/;jsessionid=FEHBGNOECPOK
To answer you question 'area 700' in dotted format is 'area 0.0.2.188'
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Saleem

Perhaps what your mean is dotted decimal format.
in which case 0.0.0.1 and 1 are the same on a Cisco router but 1 is 1.0.0.0
on another vendors config
so if using a Cisco to a Lucent router using area 1 on both might not be
the
same but 0.0.0.1 is always the same.
