Hellos sent every 10s on broadcast or p2p nets, every 30s on NBMA Hello timers must match for

a neighbour relationship to establish Dead time is 4x hello time by default (i.e. 40s on bcast/p2p, 120s on NBMA) Route summarisation can only be done on ABRs or ASBRs To summarise inter-area routes, in router ospf context: area <area#> range <network> <netmask> (note netmask, not wildcard!) To summarise redistributed routes, in router ospf context: summary-address <address> <netmask> When redistributing, OSPF will by default try to summarise to classful boundary To redistribute classlessly, in router ospf context: redistribute <protocol> subnets External type 1 metrics increment through the OSPF AS External type 2 metrics (default) do not increment through the OSPF AS To change reference bandwidth (to calculate metric for 1Gb+ connections), in router ospf context: auto-cost reference bandwidth <number> Stub area does not receive Type 5 (external) LSAs configured in router ospf context: area <area#> stub Totally stubby area does not receive Type 3, 4 or 5 LSAs (inter-area and external): area <area#> stub no-summary Not-so-stubby area can redistribute ext. routes (as Type 7 LSAs; ABRs convert to Type 5): area <area#> nssa [no-summary] To set all interfaces as passive interfaces by default, under router ospf context: passive-interface default Must run 'no passive-interface <interface>' to enable specific desired interfaces
