RE: LSA generator software

Maybe my last mail was confusing: having a lot of loopbacks interfaces
don't serve to me because if there is only 1 router that announces them in
a single area, you only have 1 LSA type 1 carrying all the ospf interfaces.

I need that my lab routers see about 200 LSA1 and 100 LSA2, to these these
routers in this environment.

Try hoardes of loopbacks on a couple of ospfd machines setup to reboot
every so often.

I doubt it - AFAIK, it is just a GNU router

What i'd like to do is to simulate a large ospf environment in my lab. I've
several routers, but i need to test some ospf features like incremental
ospf and see how beneficts them in a large network as we are planning to
build.

I know there are hardware lsa genertors to simulate environments like this,
but i suppose they aren't specially cheap.

Do you know if Zebra software can act as an "lsa generator", without
having to install it in many pcs obviously.

Look into Zebra (http://www.zebra.org/), GNU software that runs on Linux
and other Unix platforms. It provides daemons that do basic routing, OSPF,
RIP and BGP. Price is right (free, assuming you have a spare PC to build
it on) and the interface is not that different from IOS. Once installed,
you can create dummy I/Fs, static routes, whatever to load up the LSAs
required. I have never done more than a handful, so can't guarantee how
well it will work for larger volumes.

HTH!

Hi folks:

Anyone knows a freeware software that can act as "lsa generator" to
simulate a big OSPF network only using few equipment?

Many thanks
