OSPF AREA 0 Backbone

Hi,

Our main data center running with OSPF routing protocol with Area 0 configured and 7 remote sites are connected to that. This main router is ABR.

The requirment is that if the main router failed (Disaster )then how can we move the Area 0 to the DR site and make all the remote sites reconect to the DR Router.

You can just put the DR router in area 0 and make it an ABR. Make sure also that the cost to go to the DR is higher than the primary site.

Thanks Harold,

Can u provide me sample scenarios with configuration.

Have a look at this diagram. Gi0/0 has a higher priority

U meant to say DR routers should have the same Mirrored config as HQ and all branches routers with the link connected to the DR ospf cost should be higher than the one connected to the HQ as your diagrams explains.

In our setup core switch in HQ is 6500 VSS with ABR config. Area 0 extends to Border ISP router . Border ISP router WAN port configured with multiple sub-interfaces with each goes to different Branches.

All the branch link configred as NSSA . see the core config

Any one in HQ failed I want all traffics goes to DR.

It will be better if you can post rough topology for better understanding and explain as per topology what exactly is required.

HQ data center switch 6500 VSS and 2 routers each one from different ISP connected to their branch sites. If HQ router or switch failed they need to redirect the traffic to the DR site that also has the same switch without vss and 2 routers. Now we have to manipulate it with ospf for the redundnacy. Pls can u give the correct ospf config.

Yes you have to have same config like HQ on DR and adjust the cost on the branch side. I think on branch router there will be 4 subinterfaces, 2 for HQ & 2 for DR. Adjust the cost assuming that branch has 4 ways to reach particualr prefix.

To configure cost:

Branch(config-if)#ip ospf cost ?

  <1-65535>  Cost
