Tutorial: OSPF Network Types and Frame Relay Part 4

By Arden Packeer, CCIE #20716 ⋅ February 29, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

In our previous tutorials (you can find Part 1 here, Part 2 here and Part 3 here) we looked at the different OSPF network types and how they apply to a partial mesh Frame-Relay Hub and spoke topology. In normal situations that would be enough, but this is the CCIE we are preparing for! We have to understand how the different network types work together. This is incase the proctor decides to not allow you to use certain types of OSPF networks on one interface or does not allow you to use the ip ospf network commands on others. Evil Proctors :)

I’m feeling a bit more confident about the lab. I have been working steadily through the IE workbook and things are falling into place nicely. I still need to work on my speed and accuracy but i can do the Core (Switching, Routing, BGP) sections of most of the labs within 2-3 hours. This is a big improvement for me.

Tutorial: How to set up backup interfaces

By Arden Packeer, CCIE #20716 ⋅ February 12, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

The idea behind a backup interface is a simple one. If your main interface goes down, a secondary interface (like ISDN or frame) is brought up and traffic goes through this until connectivity is restored to the main interface. In this article we will be exploring how we can implement such a configuration using the Cisco IOS backup interface command.

In this article we will be taking a look at the last of the ospf network types, namely point-to-point and loopback network types.
