We've attempted to use OSPF against cisco routers for a large (8 full DS3 carrying chassis) dialup pool, using TCS 4.3 and eventually gave up and moved to RIPv2. There are a few quicks / flaws with the OSPF implimenation that don't outright break routing but produce intermitant problems for individual customers. If you can, look at RIPv2, it's simple to setup and has been ROCK SOLID for us so far. Joshua Coombs On Thu, Apr 24, 2003 at 12:50:44PM -0500, Lewis Bergman wrote:
I have decided to change from static routing on my router to letting my TC's tell my router how to route what they have. Anyone have any real gotcha's on OSPF? I really know nothing of OSPF but am in the middle of reading up on it now. My router manufacturer suggested I use it over RIP.
I have gone through the steps I found at the knowledge base and all seems to be ready although I have not done the crypto keys yet. This is a spare router card so it isn't plugged into the network as yet.
