Hi,I need some help understanding OSPF behaviour in a mini-lab I set up with GNS3. I am seeing a router that is a member of two areas (but not one of them being area 0) use an area (52) different than the area configured for its router-id (19) to re...
I would like to dscuss how an OSPF router might insert an intra area "O" OSPF route into the routing table when it seems that the route should have been an inter-area "IA O" route and therfore [due to precedence of O before IA O, regardless of cost] ...
Hi,I noticed in this post: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2100502 the author reports using EoMPLS feature on a 3725 platform with the interface command something like this: "xconnect 1.1.1.1 99 encapsulation mpls". The Cisco feature naviga...
Grettings!I set up a full mesh LAN-to-LAN VPN for a client with 4 sites. Each site has an ASA 5505 running 8.2(5). Site-to-site VoIP traffic runs in the VPN tunnels, as well as traffic to/from a file-server located at the main site. There are two...
Hi,How would I go about configuring RADIUS based AAA for remote access VPN users? I have an OSX RADIUS server and an ASA 5510I think I need to configure something like:aaa-server RADIUS-GROUP protocol radiusaaa-server RADIUS-GROUP (inside) A.B.C.D ...
Hi Giuseppe,Sorry about not including the point of the Virtual Link in the original post. I was trying to simplify to the example. I was wrong to think it was not relevant.I have now read the "Understanding OSPF Transit Capability" link above and f...
Here is an update. With the help of Cisco TAC we are on the road to understanding how the Area 0 loopback of C2 routes to the Area 0 loopback of S2 across Area 14 and calls it "intra area".Something not pictured in the original diagram is that S2 ha...
Hi Soroush,I have finally seen the light. I wasn't thinking properly. I was thinking too generally. I was thinking in terms of routers ("lab_A can get to lab_Z"), but it really only makes sense to think in terms of networks. Basic stuff.Just beca...
Thanks Soroush, the review was helpful.Regarding number 3 from your list. The router-id is the loopback, but there is also a network statement for that IP in Area 19. That is why I did not think lab_A could become an Area 52 internal router and get...
Soroush and J., Thanks for the responses. I was under the impression that, even though lab_A has interfaces configured in Area 52 and Area 19, the fact that it has its router-id configured in Area 19 was most important, so it couldn't just become a m...
