Overview/Description Configuring Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) in today's networks is an important skill to have as a network administrator. You will need to understand the primary configuration commands for single-area and multiarea OSPF designs, and the commands used to verify configurations. OSPF presents some design limitations, but offers up solutions for each. Scalability, improved CPU and memory utilization, and the ability to mix small routers with large routers are all benefits of using proper route summarization techniques which is a key feature of OSPF. An OSPF network can scale...

Overview/Description The convergence of voice, video, and data has not only changed the conceptual network models but has also affected the way that networks support services and applications. Planning routing services to support requirements requires an understanding of the Cisco Enterprise Architectures and how they align with the traditional three-layer hierarchical network model. Understanding of the network traffic moving throughout the architecture is also important. To create an implementation plan, you must have detailed network information, tools, resources, and a work plan. By...
