OSPF Point To Point Non Broadcast Network Type

The document discusses configuring OSPF point-to-multipoint non-broadcast networks over Frame-Relay, which requires manually configuring OSPF neighbors as there is no automatic neighbor discovery or DR/BDR election. It provides the configuration for a hub router and two spoke routers on the same 192.168.123.0/24 network, specifying the OSPF neighbors on the hub router and verifying full adjacencies.

OSPF Point-to-Multipoint Non-Broadcast Network

Type over Frame-Relay


In a previous lesson I showed you how to configure the OSPF point-to-multipoint network
type. This time we’ll look at the OSPF point-to-multipoint non-broadcast network type.
It’s the exact same thing but we’ll have to specify OSPF neighbors ourselves. Here is
the topology that we’ll use:

There are a couple of things that you need to be aware of:

 No Automatic neighbor discovery so you need to configure OSPF neighbors yourself!


 No DR/BDR election since OSPF sees the network as a collection of point-to-point links.
 Only a single IP subnet is used in the topology above.
Here’s the configuration for the Hub router:

Hub(config)#interface serial 0/0


Hub(config-if)#ip address 192.168.123.1 255.255.255.0
Hub(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
Hub(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-multipoint non-broadcast
Hub(config-if)#exit
Hub(config)#router ospf 1
Hub(config-router)#network 192.168.123.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
Hub(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.123.2
Hub(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.123.3

This is the hub configuration. I changed the network type to point-to-multipoint non-
broadcast, advertised the 192.168.123.0 /24 network in OSPF and most important…
specified the OSPF neighbors myself. Let’s look at the spoke router configuration:
Spoke1(config)#interface serial 0/0
Spoke1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.123.2 255.255.255.0
Spoke1(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
Spoke1(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-multipoint non-broadcast
Spoke1(config-if)#exit
Spoke1(config)#router ospf 1
Spoke1(config-router)#network 192.168.123.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
Spoke2(config)#interface serial 0/0
Spoke2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.123.3 255.255.255.0
Spoke2(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
Spoke2(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-multipoint non-broadcast
Spoke2(config-if)#exit
Spoke2(config)#router ospf 1
Spoke2(config-router)#network 192.168.123.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

Just a basic configuration. You’ll have to change the OSPF network type and type in the
correct network statements in order to become OSPF neighbors. Let’s verify the
configuration:

Hub#show ip ospf neighbor

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address


Interface
192.168.123.3 0 FULL/ - 00:01:35 192.168.123.3
Serial0/0
192.168.123.2 0 FULL/ - 00:01:56 192.168.123.2
Serial0/0
