OSPF Configuration & Show Commands - Practical OSPF
Practical Networking
@practicalnetworkingAbout
If you’ve been in the Network Engineering career field for any small amount of time, then you’ve probably been frustrated at how difficult it was to find articles and videos that were reliable, thorough, and understandable. You found articles that were very entry level, that perhaps gave simple definitions but did not communicate enough to explain how technologies actually worked. You found articles that were overly detailed, that went into so much minutia that the original point would be lost. The intent of the blog and video channel is to bridge that gap — providing the happy, practical medium between overly simplistic and overly detailed. PracNet teaches in a manner that is accessible, easy to learn, and easy to pass on. By presenting complex technology simply, PracNet provides practical, immediately applicable, knowledge of the Network Engineering industry.

Video Description
In this video we walk through an OSPF configuration together and I discuss the commands I am using and their effect. All the while showing you the various show commands you would use to validate OSPF's operation on Cisco routers. Below are the commands we'll be using in this live lab demonstration: Show Commands: show ip protocols show ip ospf interface [brief] show ip ospf neighbors show ip ospf database show ip ospf rib [detail] show ip route [ospf] Configuration Commands: router ospf {process ID} router-id {router-id} Adding Interfaces to OSPF: network {network ID} {wildcard mask} area {#} ip ospf {process ID} area {#} This is lesson 5 of my OSPF Deep Dive series.
