Load Sharing (pages 109-112)
Can be equal cost or unequal-cost
Load sharing can be:
per destination (fast switching), or
per packet (process switch)
ASIC vs CPU
OSPF Router Types
Internal Router - all interfaces in single area
Backbone Router at least 1 interface in area
0
Area Border Router has interfaces in
multiple areas
Autonomous System Border Router act
as gateways between OSPF and other routing
protocols

In Quito, Lima, etc. no need to run OSPF
Example for Quito router
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1
In M1, for Quito LAN, add a static route
ip route 192.168.64.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.2
In M1 (and M2) add to OSPF routing statements
Router OSPF 50
redistribute static subnets
redistribute connected subnets

OSPF Redistribute
Lots of options
Protocol type (static, RIP, EIGRP, etc.)
Metric
Metric-type
Route-map
Subnets (do this almost always)
OSPF Virtual Link
Connect 2 areas without using area 0
Must be configured between ABRs
Transit area must have full routes
You must know the Router ID of end points
