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.
