Variable-Length Subnet Mask
Definition
Variable-Length Subnet Mask(VLSM): provides the ability to have more than one subnet
mask within your major network. It also allows you to further subnet your already subnetted
networks. Requires Classless Routing Protocols.
Advantages
Efficient Use of IP addresses: Without VLSMs, networks would have to use the same subnet
mask throughout the network. But all your networks don’t have the same number of hosts.
For example: You have 2 LAN connected via a Serial Point-to-point connection. Each LAN has
50 Hosts on it. When you assign the subnet mask, it has to be consistent across your network. So
you end up assign a sub-network address to the WAN connection with 62 hosts, whereas you
only need 2.
Greater Capability for Route Summarization: Route Summarization is covered in detail, later
on in this module.

In this example, we want to connect the Main Site to the Branch Offices. If we used a fixed
length subnet mask, we would need 4 networks for the LANs and 3 Networks for WANs, a total
of 7 networks. Let us say we have a Class C address of 200.200.200.0 assigned to us. If we need
7 networks, we have to borrow 4 bits, giving us 14 networks. But it will only give us 14 hosts per
network. In order to get around this problem, we will use VLSMs.
In VLSMs, we can get away with borrowing only 3 bits. 3 bits give us 6 usable networks with
30 hosts per network. We will use the first 4 networks for our LAN based networks, and subnet
the fifth one further to give us additional networks with less hosts on each for our WAN
connections. Our WAN connections only require 2 hosts per network and we need 3 Networks.
Subnetting the 200.200.200.0 network into 6 subnets
We borrow 3 bits, giving us a new mask of 255.255.255.224 or 27 bit Subnet Mask.

Our new networks are as follows:
• 200.200.200.32/27
• 200.200.200.64/27
• 200.200.200.96/27
• 200.200.200.128/27
• 200.200.200.160/27
• 200.200.200.192/27

Page 4 of 207
We will assign the first 4 networks to our LAN-Based Networks.
We can take either the 5th or 6th network and further subnet it. Let’ use the 5th network
and further subnet it.
Decimal Binary
Subnet :200.200.200.10100000 (200.200.200.160)
Mask : 255.255.255.11100000 (255.255.255.224)
We only need 2 hosts per WAN connection. We will borrow a further 3 bits from this
network, leaving only 2 bits for hosts on each network.
The network numbers are as follows:
200.200.200.10100100 (200.200.200.164) Valid Host Range: 165-166

200.200.200.10101000 (200.200.200.168) Valid Host Range: 169-170
200.200.200.10101100 (200.200.200.172) Valid Host Range: 173-174
200.200.200.10110000 (200.200.200.176) Valid Host Range: 177-178
200.200.200.10110100 (200.200.200.180) Valid Host Range: 181-182
200.200.200.10111000 (200.200.200.184) Valid Host Range: 185-186
So you can choose any 3 of the above network addresses for the WAN connections.

Route Summarization
Definition
Route Summarization: reduces the number of routes that a router must maintain because it
represents a series of network numbers in a single summary address.
Advantages

Summarizing within an Octet
Let us say that we the following networks connected to a Router named LA:
150.50.64.0/24
150.50.65.0/24
150.50.66.0/24
150.50.67.0/24
150.50.68.0/24
150.50.69.0/24
150.50.70.0/24
150.50.71.0/24
LA is connected to another router SD. LA wants to minimize the number of entries it sends to
SD.
Write the network in Binary Format.
150.50.01000000.00000000 (150.50.64.0)
150.50.01000001.00000000 (150.50.65.0)

150.50.01000111.00000000 (150.50.71.0)
Starting from High order bits towards low order bits (Left to Right), look at the bits that are
common and draw a line.
150.50.01000000.00000000 (150.50.64.0)
150.50.01000001.00000000 (150.50.65.0)

150.50.01000111.00000000 (150.50.71.0)
The summarized address will be address you get from the common high order bits.
150.50.01000000.00000000 (150.50.64.0).
Your Subnet mask will the number of common bits, which is 16 + 16 + 5 = 21

Page 8 of 207
The Route that will be sent is 150.50.64.0/21.

Lab 2 – RIP Operation
(Note: This lab builds on the configuration of Lab 1)
Objective: Looking at the operation of RIP v1. You will take a look at the
Broadcast classfull updates. You will also take a look at the effect of Passive-
Interface command and the effect of turning off Split Horizon.
On Both Routers
Rx#debug ip rip (Where x is your Router number)
RIP: Sending V1 update to 255.255.255.255 via Serial 0/0 (192.1.12.1)

RIP: Build update entries
Network 10.0.0.0 metric 1
RIP: Sending V1 update to 255.255.255.255 via Loopback 0 (1.1.1.1)
Network 2.0.0.0
Network 192.1.12.0
RIP: received V1 update from 192.1.12.2 on serial 0/0
2.0.0.0 in 1 hop
Interesting Facts
• Does not include the directly connected network (192.1.12.0) in its

update towards R2.
• Does not include 2.0.0.0 network although it does exist in its routing
table back towards R2.
• The destination address is a Broadcast
• It does not send periodic updates at constant intervals (Time Jitters)
On R1
R1(config)#int loopback 0
R1(config-if)#shut
RIP: build flash update entries

network 1.0.0.0 metric 16
RIP: sending v1 update to 255.255.255.255 via Serial0/0 (192.1.12.1)

Page 14 of 207
Interesting Facts
When a route goes down, the router does not wait for Periodic Update. It
sends a Triggered update with a Poisoned route with a metric of 16
Notice R2 also sends an immediate Triggered Update back, indicating
that you can’t reach 10.0.0.0 cannot be reached through it.
On R1
R1(config)#int loopback 0
R1(config-if)#no shut
Turning Split Horizon Off
On Both Routers
Rx(Config)#int s 0/0
Rx(Config-if)#no ip split-horizon
RIP: Sending v1 update to 255.255.255.255 via Serial0/0 (192.1.12.1)

RIP: build update entries
Interesting Facts
• The router is advertising all routes. Even the ones that it learned from
the same router. The reason it does make it to the routing table is
because the Router has a better metric to the route.
Passive Interfaces
On Both Routers
Rx(config)#router rip
Rx(config-router)#passive interface Loopback 0
Interesting Facts
The router stops advertising from the Loopback interface. The command
is useful for cutting down unnecessary broadcast over an interface that
only has hosts on it and no router.

Page 15 of 207
Lab 3 – RIP using UNICAST
Objective: Turn Spilt-Horizon back on. You would like to send Unicast updates
between R1 and R2 instead of Broadcast updates.
Turning Split Horizon Back on
On Both Routers
Rx(Config)#int s 0/0
Rx(Config-if)#ip split-horizon
Sending Unicast Updates on S 0/0 interface
On R1
R1(config)#Router rip
R1(config-router)#passive interface S 0/0
R1(config-router)#neighbor 192.1.12.2
On R2
R2(config-router)#passive interface S 0/0
• Passive interface command disables RIP from sending broadcasts over a

specific interface. The neighbor allows updates to go to specific IP
addresses. So It will disables all RIP broadcasts and only send unicast
updates to each other.

of distance vector with several Link State features, such as dynamic
neighbor discovery.
Features
• Rapid Convergence: EIGRP uses DUAL to achieve rapid convergence. It

stores a backup route if one is available, so it can quickly re-converge
incase a route goes down. If no backup route exists, EIGRP will send a
query to its neighbor/s to discover an alternate path. These queries are
propagated until an alternate route is found.
• Reduced Bandwidth Usage/Incremental Updates: In EIGRP updates are

still sent to directly connected neighbors, much like distance vector
protocols, but these updates are:
Non-Periodic: The updates are not sent at regular intervals, rather

when a metric or a topology change occurs.
Partial: Updates will include the routes that are changed and not
every route in the routing table.
Bounded: Updates are sent to affected routers only.
Another issue regarding bandwidth usage is the fact that EIGRP by

default will only consume 50% of the bandwidth of the link during
convergence. This parameter can be adjusted to a higher or lower value
eith the following command:
Ip bandwidth-percent eigrp <AS number> <number that represents
the percentage>
• Classless Routing Protocol: This means that advertised routes will

include their subnet mask, this feature will eliminate the issue
pertaining to discontiguous networks. VLSM and Manual Summarization
is also supported on any router within the enterprise.
• Security: With IOS version 11.3 or better, EIGRP can authenticate using
only MD5, the reason EIGRP does not support clear text is because,

Page 32 of 207
EIGRP can only be used within CISCO routers, and all Cisco routers
support MD5 authentication. But the routes are not encrypted, so a
sniffer can easily see the password/s.
• Multiple Network Layer Protocol Support: EIGRP can support IP, IPX,
and AppleTalk, whereas the other routing protocols support only one
routed protocol. EIGRP will also perform auto-redistribution with NLSP,
IPXRIP, RTMP. EIGRP supports incremental SAP and RIP updates, 224
HOPS, and it uses bandwidth + delay which is far more better than just
Ticks and Hops used by IPXRIP. For RTMP it supports event driven
updates, but it must run in a clientless networks(WAN), and also a better
metric calculation.
• Use Of Multicast Instead Of Broadcast: EIGRP uses multicast address

of 224.0.0.10 instead of broadcast.
• Unequal and Equal Cost Path Load-Balancing: This feature will enable
the administrators to distribute traffic flow in the network. By default
EIGRP will use up to 4 paths and this can be increased to 6.
• OSI and EIGRP: Like all TCP/IP routing protocols EIGRP relies in IP to
deliver the packets, EIGRP maps to the transport layer of OSI and uses
protocol number 88.
• Support Of Different Topology: EIGRP can support broadcast multi-

access topologies such as Token-Ring, and Ethernet. Point to point
topology such as HDLC. NBMA topology such as Frame-Relay.
• Easy configuration: The configuration of EIGRP is very similar to IGRP

which is very simple.
• Support of hierarchical addressing scheme: Eigrp supports FLSM,

VLSM, CIDR/Supernetting.
• 100% Loop Free: EIGRP uses DUAL to attain fast convergence while
maintaining a totally loop free topology at every instance.
• Metrics: EIGRP uses 2 step metric: 1. VECTOR 2. COMPOSITE

Vector metric is: Min MTU, MAX Load, Min Reliability, Total delay,
Min Bandwidth and Hop count.
The vector metric of a route received from a neighbor is computed
from the received vector metric and the metric of the interface
through which the route was received.

Page 33 of 207
After the vector is received and calculated it is stored in the
topology table.
The vector metric is never adjusted in the outgoing updates, the
router always reports the values it has in its topology table and
relies on the receiving router to adjust the values.
S 0/0 10.1.1.2/30 S 0/1 10.2.1.1/30

S 0/0 10.2.1.2/30

S 0/1 10.4.1.1/30
R-D
S 0/1 10.4.1.2/30 S 0/0 10.3.1.1/30
In the above diagram, the minute the Ethernet port on R-A comes
active, it notifies R-B, and R-D with its own vector metric, R-D, and
R-B will adjust these values based on the parameters of their
interface to R-A, and then they will advertise that cost to R-C.
EIGRP uses the same formula as IGRP to calculate its composite
metric, with one difference and that is EIGRP scales the metric
component by 256 to achieve a finer metric granularity. This
metric is calculated using Bandwidth, Delay, Reliability, Load, and
MTU. The formula that it uses is as follows:
You can view the detailed vector and composite metric of a single
EIGRP route from the topology table with the following command:
“ sh ip eigrp top <ip-address> “
• EIGRP Metric Calculation uses the following formula:
Metric = [107/Bandwidth(min))+(Delay(Sum)]/10)]*256

Page 34 of 207
Bandwidth = the smallest of all bandwidths in the path to a
given destination divided by 10,000,000.
Delay = the sum of all the delay values assigned to the

interfaces along the path to a given destination divided by 10.
• To find out the value of bandwidth and the delay associated to a given
interface, “ sh interface < the interface type > x “ where x is the
interface number.
These values can be changed with the following interface mode

commands:
“ bandwidth < bandwidth in Kbps> “
“ delay < delay in tens of microseconds > “

Page 35 of 207
Terminology
• Feasible Distance: FD is equal to advertised distance of a neighbor plus
the cost of the link to that neighbor. In some cases we may have multiple
routes to the same destination, in situation like that FD will be based on
the lowest metric.
• Feasibility Condition: It is a condition that is met if a neighbor’s

advertised distance to a destination is lower than the router’s FD to that
same destination.
o FC states, that the route must be advertised by a downstream
neighbor (with respect to the destination), and the cost of the
advertising routes to the destination must be less than or equal to
the cost of the route that is currently being used by the router
receiving the advertisement.
• Successor: A directly connected neighboring router that has the best

route to a given destination. These routers are always downstream
routers.
o In order for a neighbor to become the successor, that neighbor
must firstmeet the FC. Successors are entries that are kept in the
routing table.
• Feasible Successor: FS are downstream neighboring router/s through

which a destination can be reached. FS are nothing but backup routes to
a given destination, or second best route to a given destination.
o FS s are kept in the topology table, and there may be more than
one FS per destination.
o If a neighbor’s advertising distance to a destination meets the FC,
the neighbor becomes a FS for that destination.
• Active State: When a router loses its route to a destination and no FS is

available in the topology table, the router goes into active state, in this
state the router sends out queries to all neighbors in order to find a route
to that destination. It is possible for the routers that are receiving the
queries to send queries to their neighbor, this can create a ripple effect.
• Passive State: When there is no change in the internetwork, there is no

need to do a computation or convergence, so the routers are all in
passive state. Even when a router loses its successor, as long as that
router has a FS in the topology table, the router will remain in the
passive state (normal state), and it will place the FS in the routing table,
and no computation will be performed.

Page 36 of 207
• Topology Table: This includes route entries for all the destinations that
the router has learned. FS are kept in this table for rapid convergence.
• Neighbor table: Each Eigrp router has a neighbor table that has a list of
adjacent routers. Neighbor relationships ensure a bi-directional
communication between each of the directly connected neighbor.
• Routing Table: Eigrp uses the best path to a given destination (the
Successor/s) from the topology table and places it into the routing table.
• Downstream: A router which is closer to the destination than the local

router.
• Upstream: This router is further away from the destination than the
local router. This router will use the local router to get to the destination.
• Advertised Distance: Is a distance reported to the current router, by a

neighbor. Sometimes its referred to as Reported Distance.

Page 37 of 207
Packet Types
• Hello: Used for neighbor discovery process. Hello packets are sent as
multicasts, and they use unreliable delivery meaning that they do not
need an ACK, as long as these packets are received the routers can
determine that the neighbor is up.
• Update: Update packets convey route information, these are transferred

when necessary, and are sent only to the routers that require the
information. When updates are requested by a single router, the sending
router will use unicast to convey the route information’s, but if an up
date is requested by more than one router, then the updates are
multicast out to 224.0.0.10 address. The updates require ACK s. These
packets are used when a router comes up for the first time, or when
there is a topology change, or the metric of a route is changed for better
or worst.
• Acknowledgements or ACK s: These packets are sent by the routers to

acknowledge the receipt of an update. Acknowledgement packets use
unicast and use unreliable delivery method.
• Queries: When a router looses its successor and has no feasible

successor in the topology table, it will send a query to all neighbors in
the neighbor table. Queries will always use multicast and requires an
ACK.
• Replies: These packets are sent in response to queries, these packets

will always use unicast and require an ACK.

EIGRP Summarization
• Purpose: Smaller routing table, smaller updates, and query boundary.

• Auto-summarization: Auto-summarization is turned on by default, and
it is done on the major network boundary, subnets are summarized to a
single classfull networks.
• Manual Summarization: Auto-summarization can be turned off, unlike
OSPF manual summarization can be done on any router in any location.

Open Shortest P
History
• OSPF Version 1
was specified in
RFC 1131 in
1988. This
protocol was
finalized in
1989.
• OSPF Version 2
(Current
version). The
most recent
Netmetric Solutions
Page 74 of 207
specifications are specified in RFC 2328.
OSPF Features
• Scales better than Distance Vector Routing protocols. It virtually has no

practical Hop Count Limit.
• Provides Load Balancing
• Introduces the concept of Area’s to ease management and control traffic.
• Provides Authentication.
• Uses Multicast versus Broadcasts.
• Convergence is Faster than in Distance Vector Routing protocols. The
reason for that is it floods the changes to all neighboring routers
simultaneously rather than in a chain.
• Supports Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM), FLSM and
Supernetting.
• Provides bit-based Route summarization.
• There are no periodic updates. Updates are only sent when there are
changes.
• Router only send changes in updates and not the entire full tables.
• OSPF uses a Cost Value, instead of hop count. Cost is based on the
speed of the link. Cost = 108/Bandwidth.
• Classless Routing Protocol.
• It relies on IP to deliver the Packets. Use port 89.

Page 75 of 207
Areas and Router Types
Areas
• Area is a logical grouping of OSPF routers.

• Areas divide an OSPF domain into sub-domains.
• Areas allow OSPF to be extremely scalable.
• Areas reduce the Memory, CPU utilization and amount of traffic in a
network.
• Most of the traffic can be restricted to within the area.
• Routers within an area will have no detailed knowledge of the topology
outside of their area.
• Reduced size of the Database reduces Memory requirements for the
routers.
• Area’s identified by a 32-bit Area ID. Can be denoted in Decimal
format(0) or Dotted format (0.0.0.0)
• OSPF requires one area to be Area 0, known as the backbone area.
• Backbone area or Area 0, connects all the other area to each other.
• Three types of Traffic may be defined in relation to areas:
Intra-area traffic consists of packets that are passed between
routers within a single area.
Inter-area traffic consists of packets that are passed between
routers in different areas.
External traffic consists of packets that are passed between a
router within the OSPF domain and a router within another
Autonomous systems.
Router Types
• Routers, like Traffic, can be categorized in relation to areas.

• The different Router Types are as follows:
Internal Routers are routers whose interfaces all belong to the
same area. These routers have a single Link State Database.
Area Border Routers (ABR) connect one or more areas to the
backbone area and has at least one interface that belongs to the
backbone, and must maintain as separate Link State Database for
each of its connected areas. Must be a more resourceful router
than a Internal Router.
Backbone Routers are routers with at least one interface attached
to the backbone. Although this requirement means that ABR’s are
also backbone routers, but not all Backbone routers are ABR’s. An

Page 76 of 207
Internal Router having all its interfaces in Area 0 is also a
Backbone router.
Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) are gateways for
external traffic, injecting routes into the OSPF domain that were
learned from other protocols, such as BGP or EIGRP or RIP or
IGRP. An ASBR can be located anywhere within the OSPF
autonomous system. It may be an Internal, Backbone or ABR
router.

Page 77 of 207
OSPF Terminology
Interface: A Connection between the router and one of its attached Networks
Link State: The status of a link between two routers, that is, a router’s
interface and its relationship to its neighboring routers. The link states are
advertised to other routers in a special packet called link-state advertisements
(LSA).
Link State Advertisement(LSA):

• Is the packet that is used by the routers to tell each other about the state
of a Link.
• Certain types LSA’s are flooded throughout the network and certain ones
only within the area.
• The ones that are flooded within the area, are used to create a topology
database, also known as the Link State Database.
Router ID:
• A 32-bit number assigned to each OSPF enabled router.
• It’s used to uniquely identify a router within an Autonomous System.
• Its calculated at boot time
• It’s the highest Loopback address on a Router. If there is no loopback
configured, it will be the highest configured address on the router.
Neighbors: Two routers that have interfaces on a common network. A

neighbor relationship is usually discovered and maintained by the Hello
Protocol.
Adjacent: OSPF routers form adjacency with neighboring routers in order to

exchange routing information.
Flooding: A technique used to distribute LSA’s between routers.
Databases or Tables: There are 3 OSPF Database or Tables:

• Neighbor Database: Contains the information about Directly connected
neighbors
• Link-State Database: Link States of all the routers in an Area. All routers
in the same area will have an identical Link State Database.
• Routing Table: Derived from the Link State Database by running the
SPF(also known as the Dijkstra Algorithms).

Page 78 of 207
OSPF Network Types
OSPF Defines Three Main Network Types:
• Broadcast Multi-access Networks

• Point-to-point Networks
• Non-broadcast Multi-access (NBMA) Networks
Broadcast Networks
• Networks like Ethernet, Token-Ring and FDDI are examples of Broadcast

Multi-access Networks
• For OSPF to exchange routes, they must establish a Neighbor Adjacency
this is done by Hello Protocol.
• Hello Protocol is responsible fro establishing and maintaining neighbor
relationships.
• Hello packets are multicast packets
• OSPF routers on broadcast networks will elect a Designated Router
(DR)and Backup Designated Router(BDR).
• All the other routers will establish the adjacency with the DR and BDR
rather than with all the other routers on a Multi-access networks.
• All routers communicate to the DR using a Multicast address of
224.0.0.6.
• The DR communicates with all the routers using a Multicast address of
224.0.0.5.
• The Hello Packet contains the Following fields:
Router ID: Router’s Identification. Each router has to have a
unique ID.
Hello Interval: It specifies the frequency in seconds that a router
sends hello’s. In order to form a neighbor relationship, the Hello
Interval on the router’s has to match.
Dead Interval: It specifies the time in seconds that a router waits
to hear from a neighbor before declaring the neighbor router down.
By default, it is 4 times the hello interval. In order to form a
neighbor relationship, the Dead Interval on the router’s has to
match.
Neighbor’s: The list of neighbors with which a bi-directional
communication has been established. Bi-directional
communication is indicated when the router sees itself listed in the
neighbor’ hello packet.
Area ID: The ID of an area that the router belongs to. In order to
form a neighbor relationship, the router’s have to belong to the
same Area.

Page 79 of 207
Router Priority: An 8-bit number that indicates the priority of this
router when selecting a DR/BDR.
DR and BDR IP: If it is known, the IP address of the DR and BDR.
Authentication Password: If authentication is enabled, two
routers must use the same password. Although OSPF routers,
support authentication, the routes are still send across
unencrypted.
Stub Area Flag: Specifies the Type of area the router is in. The
flag has to match for the routers to establish adjacency. Different
types of areas are discussed later.
DR and BDR election Process
For the Election process to function properly, the following conditions must
exist:
• Each multi-access interface of each router has a Router Priority value,

which is an 8-bit integer ranging from 0 – 255. The default priority on
Cisco Routers is 1 and can be changed on a per multi-access interface
basis with the command IP OSPF Priority. Routers with a Priority of 0
are ineligible to become a DR or BDR.
• Hello packets include fields for the originating router to specify its Router
Priority and for the IP addresses of the connected interfaces of the
routers it considers the DR and BDR.
• When an interface first becomes active on a multi-access network, it sets
the DR and BDR fields to 0.0.0.0 in the Hello Packet.
• The election process takes place after the 2-way communication has
taken place.
• The Router with the Highest Priority becomes the DR and next highest
priority becomes the BDR.
• In case of a tie, for either the DR or BDR, the Highest Router ID ( IP
Address) is used to break the tie.
• Once a DR or BDR is chosen, even if a new router with a higher priority
comes up, it will not become a DR or BDR.
Point-to-point Networks
• Networks like T1 or a Fractional T1, that connect a pair of Routers to

each other are examples of Point-to-point networks.
• Neighbors on a Point-to-point network form adjacency with each other.
The destination address on Point-to-point networks is always 224.0.0.5,
known as AllSPFRouters.
• There are no DR or BDR router types on a Point-to-point network.

Page 80 of 207
NBMA Networks
• Networks like Frame Relay,X.25 or ATM, are examples of NBMA

networks.
• These type of networks do have the capability to connect more than two
routers but have no capability of broadcasts. A packet sent by one of the
attached routers would not be received by all other attached routers.
• OSPF routers on NBMA elect a DR and BDR and all OSPF packets are
unicast.
• All routers form an adjacency with the DR and BDR.
• Careful selection of DR and BDR has to be done in the Hub-and-Spoke
configuration of NBMA networks.

Page 81 of 207
OSPF Protocols and Packets
• OSPF consists of a set of individual protocols all working together to

build a fast and scalable interior routing protocol.
• OSPF protocols are:
• Hello Protocol
• Exchange Protocol
• Flooding Protocol
• These protocols are used in different packet types. The different packet
types, their descriptions are listed in the following Table.
Name Description Protocol

Problems with a large OSPF
single area
• Frequent SPF algorithm calculation: In large networks, network changes
are inevitable, so the routers would have to spend more CPU cycles for
recalculating SPF.
• Large Routing Table: Each router would need to maintain at least one
entry per network, and if we have provided redundancy to some of the
links, then more entries will be found in the routing table.
• Huge Link-State Database: Remember each point-to-point link will have

2 entries and so on, so one can imagine the number of entries in that
database.
Solution in Hierarchical routing (multiple Areas)
• In OSPF we can divide a large Area into smaller areas.
• Routing still occurs between the areas called inter-area routing.
• If one of the areas is having a flapping link, it will not have an effect on
the other areas, because the traffic will always be restricted to that area
If you summarization is performed on the ABR.
Benefits
• Reduced Frequency of SPF calculation: detailed routing information is

kept within each area so its not necessary to flood all Link-State changes
to all other areas, thus not all routers need to run the SPF calculations.
• Smaller Routing Table: Because detailed routing information is kept

within an area, the routers within an area will have smaller routing table.
• Reduced Link-State Updates: LSU s can contain a variety of LSA types,

instead of sending an LSU about each network within an area, you can
advertise a single or fewer summarized routes between areas to reduce
overhead associated with LSU s.

Page 83 of 207
Multi-Area Components
• Routers
• LSAs
• Areas
• Virtual-Links
Note. Hierarchical routing enables routing efficiency because it allows you to

control the type of routing information that you allow in and out of an area.
Routers In an OSPF Multi-Area
1. Internal Routers (IR):
• All interfaces are in the same area.

• All routers have an identical Link-State database.
2. Back Bone Routers (BBR):
• All the IR s in area 0 are called the backbone routers.

• They must have at least one interface in Area 0.
3. Area Border Routers (ABR):
• Routers that have interfaces to multiple areas.

• These routers will maintain a separate Link-State Database for
each area to which they are connected.
• An exit point for an area.
• ABR s can summarize the routes from one area and advertise a
summarized route/s to the other areas.
4. Autonomous System Boundary Routers (ASBR):
• Routers that have at least one interface into an external

network such as Non-OSPF network.
• These routers can redistribute Non-OSPF routes into OSPF
networks.

Page 84 of 207
Link-State Types
1. LSA Type 1: Router Link Entry.

2. LSA Type 2: Network Link Entry.
3. LSA Type 3: Summary Link Entry.
4. LSA Type 4: Summary Link Entry.
5. LSA Type 5: Autonomous System External Link Entry.
6. LSA Type 6: MOSPF.
7. LSA Type 7: NSSA.
1. LSA Type 1:
• Router Link Entry.

• Identified by the letter O in the routing table.
• Generated by all routers.
• Describes the states of the router’s link to the area.
• Flooded within any area.
2. LSA Type 2:
• Network Link Entry.

• Identified by the letter O in the routing table.
• Generated by DR/BDR in multi-access networks.
• Describes the set of routers attached to that multi-access
networks.
• Flooded within any area that has DR/BDR s.
3. LSA Type 3:
• Summary Link Entry

• Identified by the letter IA in the routing table.
• Generated by ABR.
• Describes the networks in a given area to the backbone area and
vise versa.
• Flooded throughout the backbone area or from backbone area to
other areas.
4. LSA Type 4:
• Summary Network Link Entry.

Page 85 of 207
• LSA Type 4s are not seen in the routing table, LSA Type 4 is only
seen in the Link-State Database.
• Generated by the ASBR. In a multi-area it will be given to the ABR
of the same area , and the ABR will flood the LSAs to the other
areas.
• Describes reachibility to ASBR.
• Flooded throughout an OSPF autonomous area except in Totally
Stubby areas.
• When LSA Type 4s are flooded, LSA Type 5s are seen as well.
5. LSA Type 5:
• Autonomous System External Link Entry.

• Identified by the letter E1 or E2 in the routing table.
• Generated by the ASBR.
• Describes the routes to destination/s external to the OSPF
autonomous system.
• Flooded throughout an OSPF autonomous system except STUB,
TOTALLY STUBBY, and NSSA areas.
• When LSA Type 5s are flooded, LSA Type 4s are seen as well.
6. LSA Type 6:
• Group Membership Link Entry.

• Flooded by a Multicast OSPF Router (MOR).
• Distributes group-membership location information throughout
the routing domain.
7. LSA Type 7:
• Not-So-Stubby Autonomous System External Link Entry.

• Generated by ASBR in a NSSA.
• These LSAs are then translated to LSA Type 5 and flooded into the
Backbone Area.
• Identified by the letter N1 or N2 in the routing tables of the routers
in that particular NSSA.
• Describes the routes to destination/s external to the OSPF
autonomous system.

Page 86 of 207
E1, E2, N1, and N2 entries in the routing table:
The cost of an external route differs depending on the external type
configuration on the ASBR. The external-types are as follows:
• E1: If a packet is E1 then the metric is calculated by adding the external

cost to the internal cost of each link the packet crosses, used only when
there are multiple ASBRs advertising a route to the same AS.
• E2 (default): If a packet is E2 it will only have the external cost assigned,

meaning ASBR’s cost to get to an external route, used only when there is
one ASBR advertising an external route/s.

Page 87 of 207
Types Of Areas
1. Standard or Normal Area:
• This could be any area that is not configured as Stub, Totally

Stubby, or NSSA.
• Can accept any LSA Types 1,2,3,4,5 .
2. Back Bone Area (transit area):
• This is Area 0, area 0 must exist.

• All the other areas must have a Physical or Logical connectivity to
the backbone area.
• If a new area is added and it does not have direct connection to the
backbone area, a virtual link must be configured to provide the
needed connectivity to the backbone area.
• The virtual Link provides the disconnected area with a logical path
to the backbone so the disconnected area can communicate with
other areas.
3. Stub Area:
• Does not accept information about routes external to the AS.

• If routers need to route to networks outside an AS, they will use a
default route (0.0.0.0).
• This kind of area reduces the size of the Link-State Database, and
as a result of that it reduces the memory requirements of the
routers inside that area.
• External networks LSA Type 5s are not allowed to be flooded into a
Stub area, to get to external networks, routers will use the default
route.
4. Totally Stubby Area:
• Does not accept external AS routes, or summary routes from other

areas internal to the AS.
• A default route is injected for reachibility to other networks outside
that area.
• Cisco Proprietary solution.
• Flooded LSAs are: LSA Type 1, and Type 2.
• Can only be used if all the routers are CISCO.

Page 88 of 207
• To get to external networks, routers will use the default route.
5. Not-So-Stubby:
• Available in IOS versions 11.2 and higher.

• Defined in RFC 1587.
• It’s a hybrid Stub area, that can accept external routes with using
LSA Type 7s.
• LSA Type 7s can be originated and advertised throughout a NSSA.
• LSA Type 7s will then be translated into LSA Type 5s by the ABR
and flooded into area 0.
• NSSA can only receive LSA Types 1,2,3, and 7.
• Prior to NSSA, if an area had an external route, that area could not
be set to STUB of any kind.
Virtual-Links and their Purpose

• Linking an area that does not have a physical connection to the
Backbone area.
• Linking fragmented Backbone area.
• To add redundancy incase a router failure causes the Backbone area to

be split into two.

Border Gatew
FEATURES
Inter-domain routing
protocol also known
as EGP
Latest version is 4
Defined in RFC
1771
Autonomous system
is a set of routers
under a single
technical
administration, using
an IGP & common
metrics to route
packets within the
Netmetric Solutions Copyrights Netmetric Solutions 2006-2010

http://www.netmetric-solutions.com Page 137 of 207
AS, and using an EGP to route packets to other AS
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for allocating AS numbers
AS number is a 16 bit number
Range between 1 – 65535
64512 – 65535 reserved for private use like private IP addresses
An autonomous system can be connected to more than one ISP. This type of AS is
known as a Multihomed AS. This may be done for Redundancy or/and to increase
performance through load balancing.
BGP exchanges routes between AS in a loop free manner
ROUTING PROTOCOL COMPARISON

Protocol IGP/EGP DV/LS Hierarchy Required Metric
OSPF IGP LS Yes Cost
EIGRP IGP Adv. DV No Composite Path
BGP EGP Adv. DV No Path Vectors or Attributes
WHEN TO USE BGP

An AS allows packets to transit through it to reach other AS (for example, ISP)
An AS has multiple connections to other AS
The flow of traffic entering & leaving your AS must be manipulated
SIZE OF AN INTERNET BGP ROUTER

> 30MB routing table
> 70,000 routes
> 6,500 AS numbers
WHEN NOT TO USE BGP (INSTEAD USE STATIC ROUTES)

A single connection to the Internet or other AS
Routing policy & route selection not a concern
Lack of hardware requirements on the routers
Lack of understanding of route filtering & BGP path selection process
Low bandwidth between AS
COMMAND SYNTAX FOR STATIC ROUTES

IP Route prefix mask {Address/Interface} [Distance]
BGP Terminology
Advanced D.V. protocol
Runs on top of the TCP port 179 hence provides reliability.
Incremental, flash updates
Periodic keepalives to verify connectivity
Rich metric (called path vectors or attributes)

Page 138 of 207
Extremely Scalable
BGP routers contain two tables
IGP routing table
BGP routing table
Information can be exchanged
Peers/Neighbors – any two routers that have formed a TCP connection in order to
exchange BGP routing information
INTERNAL BGP
When BGP neighbors belong to the same AS
Neighbors do not have to be directly connected but need to be able to reach each other.
EXTERNAL BGP
BGP neighbors belong to different AS and should be able to reach each other.
Neighbors should be directly connected
Used to connect different Autonomous Systems to each other.
POLICY BASED ROUTING

Administrators define policies or rules for how data will flow through the AS
BGP & associated tools cannot end-to-end policies. Admins can only influence how our
traffic to our neighboring AS, but not beyond it.
This is known as hop-by-hop routing paradigm
BGP METRICS
Known as Path Attributes
Four Categories of Path Attributes
Well-Known Mandatory
Well-Known Discretionary
Optional Tranistive
Optional Non-Transitive
WELL KNOW ATTRIBUTES

Recognized by al compliant BGP implementations
Propagated to other neighbors
Well-Known Mandatory attributes must be present in all update messages
Well-Known Discretionary attributes could be present in an update
OPTIONAL ATTRIBUTES
Recognized by some implementation’s
Recognized optional attributes are propagated based on their meaning
Optional Transitive Attributes: If not recognized, are marked as partial &
propagated to other neighbors
Optional Non-Transitive Attributes: Discard if not recognized

Page 139 of 207
WELL KNOWN MANDATORY
AS Path: It identifies the autonomous systems through which routing information carried
in this UPDATE message has passed.
Next-Hop: It defines the IP address of the border router that should be used as the next hop
to the destinations listed in the UPDATE message. When going from a EBGP neighbor to
an IBGP neighbor, the next hop attribute is carried along in the update.
Origin: Indicates where the route information originated from. It uses an “i” to indicate that
the route was learned from an IGP and “e” for a route learned from an EGP.
WELL KNOWN DISCRETIONARY

Local Preference: Send within the Local Autonomous System only. Indicates to Local
Routers which path to take to exit the AS.
Atomic Aggregate: Indicates that a summarized route has been send to the neighbor.
OPTIONAL TRANSITIVE
Aggregator: Indicates the AS # and IP address of the Router that performed the
Aggregation,
Community: Indicates the community that the route belongs to. Helps in route-selection
policy and filtering traffic. They allow to filter incoming and outgoing routes. They allow
routers to make decisions based on the Community a route belongs to.
OPTIONAL NON TRANSITIVE

Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED): Also known as Metric, is send to external neighbors. It
indicates to the neighbor the preferred path into the AS.
ADDITIONAL CISCO PROPERTY

Weight: Arbitrary number between 0 – 65535 which indicates to the router the preferred
path to a given destination.
The Neighbor IP Address Weight Weight Command is used to set the Weight metric.
Route Selection Decision Process

Highest Weight
Highest Local Preference
Route originated by the local router
Shortest AS-Path
Lowest Origin code ( IGP < EGP)
Lowest MED from other AS
EBGP over IBGP
The Path through the closest IGP Neighbor
Oldest route for EBGP
Path with the lowest Neighbor BGP Router ID

Page 140 of 207
Basic BGP Configuration
Router BGP 100 (Where 100 is the Autonomous system on this router)
Neighbor 192.1.1.1 remote-as 200) (The IP address of your BGP Peer and its AS #. If the AS
number is the same as your AS #, it indicates that the BGP
Routers are IBGP Peer’s or Neighbors
Network 1.0.0.0 (What networks to advertise)

Useful Commands
Command Description
SH IP BGP Shows EGP Table
Clear IP BGP * Clear EGP Table
Route Reflectors
BGP Split Horizon: Routes learned via IBGP are never propagated to other IBGP Peers.
Required to avoid Routing Loops.
In order to let IBGP routers to propagate routes within an Autonomous System it requires a
Full Mesh Topology or Use Route Reflectors.
Full Mesh topology result in many BGP sessions being created. This may result in a
significant amount of increased traffic which is not feasible for slow WAN Links.
Route Reflectors modify BGP Spilt Horizon by allowing the router configured as the route
reflector to propagate routes learned by IBGP to other IBGP Peers.
Prefix List
New in Cisco 12.0 IOS Release

Prefix list can be used as an alternative to access lists in many BGP Route Filtering
commands
You can use Show IP prefix-list detail command to see the prefix-list entries.
Advantages include:
Significant Performance Improvement
Support for incremental modifications
More user-friendly command-line interface
Greater Flexibility

Helper Addresses
• If a client needs to reach a server and does not know the server’s
address the client uses a broadcast to find the server’s address. By
default, a router will drop the broadcast packet. Helper addresses
allow connectivity by forwarding these broadcasts as unicast packets
Server Locations
Single Server on a Single Remote Network: Clients need to connect to

only one server on a Remote Network.
Multiple Servers on a Single Remote Networks: Multiple servers on

the Remote Network, either of the same type or different types.
Multiple Servers on Multiple Remote Media: Two servers on two

separate Networks.
Command Syntax:
IP helper-address Address
• Enables forwarding and specifies destination address for main UDP

broadcast packets.
• It also changes the destination address from broadcast to unicast or

directed address.
• By default, forwards the following UDP ports:

TFTP (69)
DNS(53)
Time(37)
NetBIOS Name Service(137)
NetBIOS datagram Service(138)

IP Forward-protocol {udp | [port] |
• Specifies which protocols will be forwarded
• No would allow you to disable the default protocol(s) from being

forwarded
Route Maps
• Route maps can be used for both Redistribution and for Policy Routing.
• Route Maps are like Complex Access Lists
• You have Lines in Access Lists and Statements in Route Maps
• You assign an Access List a Number whereas a Route Map is assigned a

Name
• You have Addresses and Inverse Masks in Access Lists whereas you have
Match Statements in a Route Map.
• Like an Access List, there is an “Implicit deny any” at the end of a route
map.
• Unlike Access Lists Route Maps can be edited without reentering the
whole Access Lists.
• Route Maps can modify matched route with set command
Command Syntax:
• Route-map map name [permit | deny] Sequence Number
Route-map is the command

Map name is the name of the route tag
Permit | deny The action to be taken if the route map match
conditions are met
Sequence Number Indicates the position a new route map in the list of
route map

Page 166 of 207
• Match ip address {access-list-number } {…access-list-number}
• Match length min max
• Set ip next-hop ip address [Defines next hop to which output packets]
• Set interface Type / Number [Defines interface to which output packets]
Policy Routing
• Applied to incoming packets
• Uses Route maps to define criteria
• Policy based routing allows a network administrator to determine and

implement routing policies to allow or deny paths based on the following:
The identity of a particular end system

The size of the packets

IS-IS Overview
IS – IS COMMANDS
• IS – IS : Intermediate system – to – intermediate system protocol is a
part of open systems interconnect (OSI) suite of protocols.
• The OSI suite uses CLNS (connection less network service) to provide
connectionless delivery of data and the actual layer 3 protocol is CLNP
(connectionless network protocol).
• IS – IS uses CLNS addresses to identify the routers and to build the
link-state database.
• IS – IS supports Ethernet & frame-relay.
• IS – IS supports important characteristics of OSPF and EIGRP as it
supports VLSM and converges quickly.
• Integrated IS – IS (dual IS – IS) offers support for IP and OSI protocols.
• IS – IS is found in large ISP’s and in some networks that support OSI
protocols because of scalability, convergence, and stability.
• Router is referred to as intermediate-system, thus allowing routers to
communicate with other routers.
• IS – IS serves as IGP for the CLNS.
• IS – IS is a link state routing protocol.
• Uses Dijkstra’s SPF algorithm, has faster convergence.
• Uses hellos to establish adjacencies and LSP’s to exchange link-state
information.
• Efficient use of bandwidth, memory, and processor.
• IS – IS supports two routing protocols:
o Level – 1 builds topology of system ID’s in local area and routes
within local area using lowest cost path.
o Level – 2 exchanges prefix information between areas. Routes
traffic to area using lowest cost path.
• Level – 1 routes learn about paths within the area.
• Level – 2 routes learn about paths between areas.
• Level 1 – 2 routes learn about paths both within and between areas.
• The path of connected level – 2 and level 1 – 2 routes is called the
backbone.
• Default narrow metrics are limited to 6-bit interface and 10-bit path
metric.
• IS – IS interfaces have default metric as 10.
• ES – IS protocol permits ES’s & IS’s to discover one another.
OSI Routing Levels

• Level 0 routing:
o Between ES’s & IS’s on the same subnet.

Page 199 of 207
• Level 1 routing: (intra-area routing)
o Between IS’s within the same area.
• Level 2 routing: (inter-area routing)
o Between different areas within the same domain
• Level 3 routing:
o Routing between separate domains.
Area Design:
• In IS – IS the area borders lie on links.
• Each IS – IS router belongs to exactly one area.
• IS – IS is more flexible when extending the backbone.
NSAP address structure (Network Service Access Point)
o Area address
o AFI set to 49
o Area ID
o System ID
o NSEL – always set to 0 for a router.
o Eg: 49.0001.0000.0012.3456.00
Subnetwork point of attachment (SNPA) – point that provides subnetwork

services
o It is equivalent to layer 2 address: for eg :

o Virtual circuit ID (DLCI on Frame Relay).
o MAC add on LAN interface.
Circuit is the IS – IS term for an interface.
Link is the path between 2 neighbor IS’s and is defined as being up when
communication is possible between the two neighbors SNPA’s.
IS – IS Routing levels:
o Level 1 : Collection of level 1 & level 1 – 2 routes.

o Level 1 – 2 : IS keeps separate level 1 & level 2 LSDB’s and advertises
default route to level 1 routes
o Level 2 : collection of level 1-2 & level 2 routes
Note: By default, the router is a level 1-2 router
Area address is used to route between areas system ID is used to route within
an area.
