OSPF "Magic" Exercise: We Will Use A "Quick and Dirty" Setup To Make OSPF Work With Minimal Configuration

This document provides steps for a quick configuration of OSPF routing on a network using minimal configuration, but warns this should not be done on a production network and more complex techniques are safer for production. It outlines 3 steps: ensuring the PC has a default route to the router, deleting static routes on the router, and using the "MAGIC" to configure OSPF routing to redistribute all connected subnets with a single command.

OSPF “Magic” Exercise

 We will use a “quick and dirty” setup to


make OSPF work with minimal
configuration.

WARNING
 DO NOT do this on your production network.

 Production networks should use slightly


more complex, but safer, techniques.
Step 1:
 Ensure that your PC has a static default
route to the router. Check with:

 $ netstat -rn -f inet

 If there is no static route entry, add it with:

 $ route add default routerEth1IP


Step 2:
 Delete all static routes (including default)
on the Cisco Router
# sh ip route
For all static routes displayed above …
# conf t
# no ip route x.x.x.x y.y.y.y z.z.z.z

#.
# ^Z
# sh ip route
Step 3:
 Perform the MAGIC

# conf t

# router ospf 1

# network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0

# redistribute connected subnets

# ^Z

# sh ip route
