RE: OSPF: point-to-point issue (NOT hello mismatch)

I just re-read that last sentence of what I previously sent you. There is no
such thing as a point-to-multipoint subinterface. The only real point I am
trying to make to you is you need to have at minimum, two interfaces that
require DR, or two that don't. So let's make a OSPF Network type table here
and you re-read your lab scenario requirements to see which of the six
possibilities are allowed.

R1 R2 WORKS?
-------------------------------------------------------
P-T-P P-T-P YES
p-t-p p-t-m YES, if timers (hello) are allow
to be modified
p-t-p non-broad NO
p-t-p broadcast NO
p-t-m p-t-m YES
p-t-m non-broad NO
p-t-m broadcast NO
NON-BROAD NON-BROAD YES, if neighbor statements are allowed. May need
to influence DR selection (Priority)
non-broad broadcast YES, if timers (hello) are allowed to be
modified. May need to influence DR selection (Priority)
broadcast broadcast YES, may need to influence DR selection
(Priority)

The ALL CAPS combinations are the only two YES possibilities that can exist
on frame-relay interfaces without using the "ip ospf network" command.

Hope this helps..

Cassidy

Cassidy,

That's an interesting thought. I will have to double
check this again - do you have any URL explaining
this?
