Optimizing OSPF and BGP on EDGE Devices

Both ASBR1 and ASBR2 advertise defaults into the network, expecting to have the capability to route to the Internet through BGP-learned routes. In this case, ASBR2 is already up, fully converged. However, if ASBR1 reloads, when it comes back up, OSPF is likely to converge faster than BGP. As a result, ASBR1 will advertise its [...]

Three ways to add a connected network into OSPF

Here are three ways you can easily add a connected network into OSPF.
Lets use g1/1 with an IP of 140.1.1.1/24

# network 140.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
2. Enable OSPF under the interface
# int g1/1
# ip ospf 1 area 0
3. Redistribute the network.

# match interface g1/1
# router [...]
