Hi, all,
What do y'all think about the following as a general rule of thumb for
deploying OSPF? I pulled this information together from a variety of
sources, including Cisco TAC, this group, and the vending machine man who
gave me 50 cents back. I think following these guidelines would result in
designs that reduce the load on the routers (less databases and networks to
process) plus make for easier troubleshooting. Of course, I also think
the Loch Ness monster is real ( I saw her playing water polo with my
mother-in-law;)
Anyways, your thoughts would be appreciated.
Guidelines for Deploying OSPF
Number of Areas Per Router
Router Series Number of Areas
7xxx <5
3xxx-4xxx <4
2xxx <3
Number of Routers Per Area
<51 Routers Per Area
Number of Networks Per Router
Router Series Number of Networks
7xxx <150
3xxx-4xxx <100
2xxx <50
