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 :)
In our previous tutorials on OSPF Network types (you can read Part 1 here, and Part 2 here), we looked at the OSPF broadcast, non-broadcast, point-to-multipoint, and point-to-multipoint non-broadcast network types. 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.
In our last article we looked at the Broadcast and Non-Broadcast OSPF network types. We will be continuing our OSPF Network Type series of articles by looking at Point-to-Multipoint and Point-to-Multipoint Non-Broadcast network types.
